- 500 gall-purpose flour
- 7 gactive dry yeast
- 10 gsugar
- 10 gsea salt(for the dough)
- 350 mllukewarm water
- 60 mlextra virgin olive oil(plus extra for brushing)
- 2 tbspfresh rosemary(chopped)
- 1 tspflaky sea salt(for topping)
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, active dry yeast, and sugar. Mix well.
Add the lukewarm water and 10 grams of sea salt to the dry ingredients. Stir with a spoon until a shaggy dough forms.
Pour in 40 ml of the extra virgin olive oil. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes, or until it's smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook.
Lightly oil a clean bowl with some olive oil. Place the dough in the bowl, turning it once to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Drizzle a baking sheet (approx. 9x13 inches or 23x33 cm) generously with the remaining 20 ml of olive oil.
Gently transfer the risen dough to the prepared baking sheet. Using your fingertips, gently press and stretch the dough to fill the pan, creating characteristic dimples across the surface.
Drizzle a little more olive oil over the focaccia. Sprinkle with chopped fresh rosemary and flaky sea salt. Let it rest for another 15-20 minutes.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. The exact baking time may vary depending on your oven.
Once baked, remove the focaccia from the oven and transfer it to a wire rack to cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm!
