Focaccia

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil (to drizzle onto the pan)
• 1 1/2 cups warm water
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
• 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon instant yeast (or active dry yeast)
• 1 teaspoon sea salt flakes (or kosher salt)
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 tablespoons chopped rosemary
• 1 tablespoon chopped oregano

Steps

1. 1

   Drizzle about 2 tablespoons of olive oil into a 9" x 13" (22cm x 33cm) pan.

2. 2

   Combine all of the dough ingredients and beat at high speed with an electric mixer for 60 seconds.

3. 3

   Scoop the sticky batter into the prepared pan, cover the pan, and let it rise at room temperature for 60 minutes. While the dough is rising, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

4. 4

   Gently poke the dough all over with your index finger.

5. 5

   Drizzle it lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, minced garlic, rosemary, and oregano.

6. 6

   Bake the bread until it's golden brown, about 30 minutes. Remove it from the oven, wait 5 minutes, then turn it out of the pan onto a rack and cut it into pieces. Serve warm or at room temperature.
