How to Make Rosemary Garlic Focaccia

  1. In a large bowl, combine 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast, 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, and 1 cup (240ml) lukewarm water. Let stand for 10-15 minutes, or until foamy.
  2. Stir in 4 cups (500g) all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and 1 ½ teaspoons salt. Gradually add the remaining flour (about 1 cup), mixing until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
  3. Lightly oil a large bowl. Transfer the dough to the bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  4. Gently knead the dough on a lightly floured surface. Transfer to a well-oiled 15x10 inch jelly-roll pan. Using oiled hands, press the dough into the pan. Cover loosely and let rise for 30 minutes.
  5. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  6. Place oven rack in the center of the oven.
  7. Using your fingers, dimple the dough all over. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil, spreading evenly.
  8. Sprinkle generously with 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, 2 cloves minced garlic, and ½ teaspoon sea salt.
  9. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until pale golden brown.
  10. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing.
  11. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
