Ingredients

  • 4 cups flour
  • 1 1/2 cups warm water
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon coarse sea salt

Equipment

  • KitchenAid mixer with dough hook attachment
  • 9x13 inch baking pan
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Mixing bowl
  • Pastry brush

Method

  1. In the mixing bowl of a KitchenAid mixer, add warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes foamy.
  2. Add flour, salt, and olive oil to the mixing bowl. Mix on low speed until the dough comes together.
  3. Switch to the dough hook attachment and knead the dough on low speed for 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free place for 1 hour.
  5. Punch down the dough and transfer it to a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough for a few minutes and then shape it to fit a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  6. Transfer the dough to the baking pan and cover with plastic wrap. Let the dough rise again for 30-45 minutes until it doubles in size.
  7. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  8. Using your fingers, make deep indentations all over the surface of the dough. Brush the dough with olive oil and sprinkle with fresh rosemary and coarse sea salt.
  9. Bake the focaccia bread for 20-25 minutes until it is golden brown on top.
  10. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
