Focaccia

This homemade rosemary focaccia is a delicious Italian bread topped with fresh rosemary and sea salt.

Ingredients

  • Sea salt (1 teaspoon)
  • Fresh rosemary (2 tablespoons, chopped)
  • Olive oil (1/4 cup)
  • Salt (2 teaspoons)
  • All (purpose flour - 4 cups)
  • Honey (1 tablespoon)
  • Active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
  • Warm water (1 1/2 cups)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and honey. Let it sit for 5 minutes, or until foamy.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil.
  3. Stir until a dough forms, then transfer to a floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  5. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  6. Punch down the dough and transfer it to a greased baking sheet. Press it down to form a rectangle shape.
  7. Using your fingers, make indentations all over the dough. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with chopped rosemary and sea salt.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy on the edges.
  9. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing and serving.
