Focaccia Bread

An Italian bread known as focaccia bread.

Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active yeast
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 2 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon dried rosemary

Instructions

  • In a stand mixer, stir together the yeast, water and honey.
  • Let bloom for about 10 minutes until the mixture begins to bubble.
  • Next, stir in the all-purpose flour, olive oil and kosher salt. Mix Well
  • Dust a kitchen surface with a light coating of flour and knead the dough mixture for 5 – 10 minutes - the dough will be a little tacky.
  • Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with a kitchen towel; move to a dark, warm place and let rest for at least an hour. The dough should more than double in size.
  • Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees.
  • Remove the dough from the bowl and press it into a 9″ x 13″ baking pan sprayed with no stick spray.
  • The final step of this process is to take your fingers and punch holes throughout the dough.
  • Drizzle with the olive oil and the rosemary.
  • Let rest another 30 – 40 minutes (or until your desired thickness)
  • Bake until golden brown – about 12 minutes.
  • Remove to a cooling rack and eat when ready.
  • Serve and enjoy!
