Italian Herb Focaccia (Printable Version)

# What You'll Need:

→ Dough

01 - 4 cups (500g) of either bread flour or regular all-purpose flour

02 - 2¼ teaspoons (7g) of instant yeast or active dry yeast

03 - 2 teaspoons (10g) of salt

06 - Some extra virgin olive oil to drizzle on top

07 - 2 tablespoons of fresh leaves from rosemary

08 - Chunky sea salt

# Preparation Steps:

01 - Combine your flour, yeast, and salt in a big bowl. Pour in the warm water and olive oil, stirring until it looks rough. Then knead it for about 10 minutes till it feels smooth and stretchy

02 - Put your dough in a bowl coated with oil and wrap it up. Leave it somewhere warm for 1-2 hours until it gets twice as big

03 - Grease a baking tray, then pull the dough to fit. Push your fingers all over to make those typical dents across the whole surface

04 - Cover your flattened dough and let it puff up for another half hour

05 - Get your oven hot at 425°F (220°C). Pour some olive oil over the dough, add your sea salt and rosemary, then bake for 20-25 minutes till it's golden brown
