This Italian classic is characterized by its rich taste and airy texture, making it the perfect accompaniment to soups, salads, or enjoyed on its own with olive oil for dipping.

Ingredients You’ll Need

• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons instant yeast
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 ½ cups warm water (about 110°F)
• ¼ cup olive oil, plus more for drizzling
• 4 cloves of garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
• Flaky sea salt for topping

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and instant yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
2. Add the flour, salt, and ¼ cup of olive oil to the yeast mixture. Stir until a dough begins to form.
3. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, you can use a stand mixer with a dough hook.
4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
5. Once risen, gently punch down the dough and transfer it to a greased baking sheet. Use your fingers to spread the dough into a rectangular shape, about 1 inch thick.
6. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Then, create dimples all over the dough with your fingers.
7. In a small bowl, mix the minced garlic and rosemary with a bit of olive oil. Drizzle this mixture over the dough, ensuring even distribution. Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top.
8. Let the focaccia rest for another 20-30 minutes for a second rise.
9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. Let it cool slightly before slicing.
