Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams All-purpose flour
- 350 milliliters Warm water
- 7 grams Active dry yeast
- 5 grams Sugar
- 10 grams Salt
- 60 milliliters Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Herbes de Provence
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Sea salt flakes
- 1 sprig Fresh rosemary (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Slowly pour in the yeast mixture and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and allow it to rise in a warm spot for 1-1.5 hours or until doubled in size.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently to release gas and transfer it to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Spread it out into a rectangle about 1 inch thick.
Cover the dough again with a kitchen towel and let it rise for another 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F).
Make indentations across the surface of the dough using your fingers. Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the top, ensuring it pools into the indentations.
Sprinkle the Herbes de Provence, minced garlic, and sea salt flakes evenly over the surface. Garnish with fresh rosemary if desired.
Bake the focaccia in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing and serving.
