Cooking Time:

Ingredients
- 5 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 1/2 cups warm water (about 110 degrees)
- 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon (or 1 packet) quick-rise yeast
- 2 sprigs rosemary, stems removed and finely chopped
- Sea salt for sprinkling
Preparation Instructions
- Prep the pan—Lightly grease 9 x 13-inch baking pan and drizzle 2 tablespoons olive oil in the bottom.
- Mix the dough—Combine water, salt, flour, yeast, and 3 tablespoons olive oil in medium bowl. Beat at high speed with an electric mixer for 1 minute or until all flour is incorporated. Mixture will be quite sticky.
- Proof the dough—Transfer dough to prepared pan. Cover and leave at room temperature until nice and puffy, about 1 hour. In the last 20 minutes, preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Prep the focaccia—Use your fingers to poke deep dents evenly across the surface of dough. Lightly drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with rosemary and sea salt. Bake until beautifully golden, about 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from oven and rest in pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer to cutting board or cooling rack. Enjoy!
Tips
Late Riser
If dough hasn’t puffed up after an hour, you may need to boost the temperature in a cold kitchen. Place dough in oven and turn the oven light on for a gentle nudge in the proofing direction. If using this method, preheat oven after dough has risen.
