Ingredients

  • 1⅓ cup Warm Water

  • Preheat oven to 200F.
  • Grease a baking pan with olive oil and set aside.
  • Add water, sugar and yeast to a large mixing bowl and stir to combine.

  • Next, add flour, salt and a tablespoon chopped rosemary to the bowl and stir to combine. Mix until the dough begins to pull away from the side and knew in 1 tablespoon extra flour at a time - the dough should be firm enough not to stick, yet still fairly soft.
    Pour the dough into the greased baking pan and use your hands to spread it out evenly in the pan.
  • Turn off the oven and place the pan in the oven for 15-20 minutes (this will make it rise faster)
    Next, remove the pan from the oven and turn the oven up to 400F.
  • While the oven is preheated, use your fingers to poke holes in the dough and drizzle olive oil generously on top. Sprinkle sea salt, garlic powder and rosemary on top of the bread.
    Return the baking pan to the oven and bake the focaccia for 20 minutes or until it's golden brown.
    Serve and enjoy.
