  • 5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • Fresh herbs (like rosemary or thyme)

Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast: In a bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.

  5. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  6. Shape the dough: Spread the dough into a greased baking pan, creating dimples with your fingers.
  7. Season generously: Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with fresh herbs and coarse salt.
  8. Bake the focaccia: Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
  9. Cool and serve: Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.
