Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams All-purpose flour
- 350 milliliters Warm water
- 7 grams Instant yeast
- 8 grams Salt
- 80 milliliters Olive oil
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary sprigs
- 5 grams Flaky sea salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute.
Pour the warm water and half of the olive oil (40 ml) into the dry ingredients. Stir with a wooden spoon until a sticky dough forms. No kneading is required, just ensure the dough is well-mixed.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise at room temperature for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
Generously grease a 9x13-inch (23x33 cm) baking pan with olive oil. Transfer the risen dough into the pan, using oiled hands to gently spread it to the edges. If the dough resists stretching, let it rest for 5 minutes and try again.
Cover the pan loosely and let the dough rise again for 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F).
After the second rise, use your fingers to press dimples into the surface of the dough. Pour the remaining olive oil (40 ml) over the dough, ensuring it pools into the dimples.
Evenly distribute the garlic slices and rosemary sprigs on top of the dough. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt for extra flavor and texture.
Bake the focaccia in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until it is golden and crisp on the surface.
Let the focaccia cool slightly in the pan before transferring it to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
