Homemade Focaccia Bread (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - 500g (4 cups) of bread flour.
02 - 7g (2 1/4 teaspoons) of active dry yeast.
03 - 10g (2 teaspoons) of salt.
04 - 415ml (1 3/4 cups) of warm water.
05 - 60ml (1/4 cup) of extra virgin olive oil, with more for drizzling.
06 - Two tablespoons of chopped fresh rosemary.
07 - Coarse sea salt to sprinkle on top.

# Instructions:

01 - Stir together the yeast, salt, and flour. Gradually pour in oil and water. Knead by hand for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
02 - Transfer to a greased bowl, cover it up, and let it sit for 1-2 hours until it puffs up and doubles in size.
03 - Press the dough onto an oiled baking pan and poke little dimples across the surface with your fingertips.
04 - Loosely cover and wait 30 minutes for it to rise again.
05 - Preheat your oven to 425°F. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle rosemary and sea salt, and bake for 20-25 minutes until lightly golden.

# Notes:

01 - Swap bread flour with all-purpose if needed.
02 - Try tossing on some other toppings.
03 - Tastes best when eaten right out of the oven.
