Description

This recipe makes a healthy and easy Italian focaccia bread. It is suitable for all.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon instant yeast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon flaky sea salt

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine flour, yeast, and salt.
  2. Gradually add warm water and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
  5. Gently punch down the dough and transfer it to a 9×13 inch baking pan greased with olive oil.
  6. Press the dough evenly into the pan, creating dimples with your fingertips.
  7. Drizzle with more olive oil, sprinkle with chopped rosemary and flaky sea salt.
  8. Let rise for another 20-30 minutes.
  9. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  10. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
  11. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • For a crispier crust, bake directly on a preheated baking stone.
  • You can add other toppings like cherry tomatoes or olives before baking.
