Ingredients

  • 500g all-purpose flour
  • 7g active dry yeast
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 sprigs of rosemary
  • 1 tsp coarse sea salt

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine the yeast, sugar, and 1/4 cup of warm water. Let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and 3 tbsp of olive oil. Gradually add 1 cup of warm water, mixing until a dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
  4. Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F). Punch down the dough and transfer it to a greased baking sheet. Press the dough out to cover the entire sheet, creating dimples with your fingers.
  5. Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the dough, then sprinkle with rosemary and coarse sea salt. Let the dough rest for 15 minutes.
  6. Bake the focaccia for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. Let it cool slightly before slicing and serving.
