Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.25 cups Warm water (about 110°F/45°C)
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt flakes (for topping)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, instant yeast, and salt. If desired, add garlic powder for extra flavor.
Gradually pour in the warm water and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Mix with a wooden spoon or your hands until the dough comes together. It will be soft and slightly sticky.
Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rest for 5 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a 9x13-inch (23x33 cm) baking pan with parchment paper and drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil on the bottom.
Transfer the dough to the prepared pan and spread it out evenly with your hands. If the dough resists, let it rest for another 2-3 minutes before spreading again.
Using your fingertips, create dimples all over the surface of the dough. Drizzle an additional 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the top.
Sprinkle the dough with fresh rosemary, sea salt flakes, or your favorite focaccia toppings (such as cherry tomatoes or olives).
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the focaccia is golden brown and slightly crisp on the edges.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
