Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) active dry yeast
  • 1 ¼ cups warm water (around 110°F/43°C)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced finely
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary leaves (or 1 teaspoon dried)
  • 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt for topping
  • Instructions

  • Activate the yeast: Stir the sugar into warm water. Sprinkle yeast over the top and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
  • Mix the dough: In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Add the olive oil, minced garlic, and the yeast mixture. Stir until a sticky dough forms.
  • Knead briefly: Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes, until smooth but still soft and slightly sticky.
  • First rise: Place dough in an oiled bowl, cover, and leave in a warm spot for 40 minutes to 1 hour until it doubles in size.
  • Prepare the pan: Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil into a 9×13 inch baking pan. Pour in dough, gently stretch to fill pan. Let rest 10 minutes if resistant.
  • Create dimples: Wet fingertips and press into dough all over to form dimples.
  • Top the focaccia: Sprinkle Parmesan and rosemary evenly. Drizzle remaining olive oil and scatter coarse sea salt on top.
  • Second rise and preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Let dough rest and rise another 20-30 minutes.
  • Bake: Place pan in oven and bake 20-25 minutes until top is golden and edges crisp.
  • Cool and serve: Remove from oven, cool 5 minutes, loosen edges with spatula, slice, and serve warm or room temperature.
