  • 4 cups All-Purpose Flour Provides structure and chewy texture.
  • 2 teaspoons Salt Elevates flavor and controls fermentation.
For Topping
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Rosemary Feel free to swap with other herbs like thyme.
  • 1 tablespoon Flaky Sea Salt Adds crunch and brightness.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Rosemary Focaccia Bread
  1. Whisk together warm water and active dried yeast in a large mixing bowl. Let sit for 3–5 minutes until frothy.
  2. Add olive oil, all-purpose flour, and salt to the yeast mixture. Stir until combined and sticky.
  3. Lightly coat hands with olive oil, gather the dough into a ball, and coat it in oil. Cover and refrigerate for 10 to 16 hours.
  4. Prepare a greased 9x13 inch pan with olive oil.
  5. Remove chilled dough, gently deflate it, and transfer to the pan. Stretch to fit. Cover and let rise for 2 to 3 hours.
  6. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Create dimples in the dough.
  7. Drizzle remaining olive oil over the dough, then sprinkle with rosemary and sea salt.
  8. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool slightly in the pan.
  9. Slice into squares or rectangles and serve warm or at room temperature.
