Ingredients

Directions

Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the flour. Place the yeast on one side and the fine salt on the other — this prevents the salt from killing the yeast. Mix everything together.
Add Wet Ingredients: Make a well in the center and pour in 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Gradually add 350–400ml lukewarm water until a slightly sticky dough forms (you may not need all the water).
Knead the Dough: Lightly flour your surface, then knead the dough for 5–10 minutes until soft and smooth. Transfer to a clean bowl, cover with a tea towel, and let it rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Second Proof: Oil a 25x35 cm shallow baking tin. Gently stretch the dough to fit the tin. Cover again and let it rise for 35–45 minutes.
Preheat and Dimple: Preheat your oven to 220°C (200°C fan / Gas 7). Press your fingers into the dough to create those classic focaccia dimples.
Add Toppings: Mix 1½ tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp water, and 1 tsp flaky sea salt, then drizzle over the dough. Press rosemary sprigs into the dimples.
Bake and Serve: Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown. While still hot, drizzle with 1–2 tbsp olive oil. Slice and enjoy warm or cold with more olive oil for dipping!

Recipe Note

Chef Tips

Use lukewarm water (not hot) to help the yeast activate properly.
For a crunchier crust, bake an extra 3–5 minutes.
Try adding toppings like cherry tomatoes, olives, or caramelized onions for variety.

Serving Suggestions

Serve alongside pasta dishes, soups, or grilled vegetables.
Slice horizontally for sandwiches or paninis.
Pair with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and olive oil for a simple appetizer.

Storage & Reheating

Room Temperature: Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
Refrigerate: Keeps for up to 5 days (warm before serving).
Freeze: Wrap tightly and freeze for up to 1 month. Reheat in a 180°C oven for 10 minutes.
