Ingredients

4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons instant yeast
1 ½ cups warm water (about 110°F)
¼ cup olive oil, plus more for drizzling
Fresh herbs (such as rosemary or thyme)
Coarse sea salt, for sprinkling

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, sugar, and instant yeast. Mix well.
Gradually add warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Stir with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours, or until it doubles in size.
Once the dough has risen, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Grease a baking sheet with olive oil and transfer the dough onto it. Use your fingers to gently stretch and press the dough into the sheet, creating dimples all over the surface.
Drizzle additional olive oil over the top and sprinkle with fresh herbs and coarse sea salt.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the focaccia is golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing. Enjoy your delicious homemade focaccia!

Serve this focaccia alongside a favorite dip, or pair it with a hearty soup. The possibilities are endless with this versatile bread, and you’ll be sure to impress everyone at your table!
