For a more intense rosemary flavor, infuse the olive oil by gently heating it with the rosemary sprigs before using it to brush the focaccia. Feel free to experiment with other herbs such as thyme, oregano, or sage. A sprinkle of flaky sea salt after baking enhances the flavor and texture. Serve warm with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a balsamic glaze.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
10 mins
In a large bowl, whisk together 5 tablespoons of warm water, yeast, and sugar. Allow to stand until the mixture is creamy and slightly foamy, about 10 minutes.
02
Step
6 mins
Add the flour and 1/4 teaspoon of salt to the yeast mixture. Stir well to combine. If the dough seems dry, add 1 tablespoon of additional water at a time until all the flour is absorbed and the mixture forms a cohesive dough. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until it becomes smooth and springy, about 4 to 6 minutes.
03
Step
1 hrs
Lightly oil a large bowl with olive oil. Place the dough in the bowl, turning to coat it evenly. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in volume, approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour.
04
Step
5 mins
Preheat the oven to 465 degrees F (240 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet with olive oil.
05
Step
5 mins
Gently deflate the risen dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Briefly knead the dough, then pat or roll it into a sheet, about 1/2-inch thick. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet. Brush the surface of the dough with the remaining olive oil and use your fingertips to create dimples across the surface. Sprinkle with the chopped rosemary leaves and a generous pinch of sea salt.
06
Step
20 mins
Bake in the preheated oven until the focaccia is golden brown and cooked through, about 10 minutes for a lighter, fluffier bread, or up to 20 minutes for a crispier, darker crust.
