Ingredients

  • 1kg/2lb 4oz strong flour
  • 15g/½oz fresh yeast
  • 15g/½oz salt
  • , for greasing oil
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 rosemary
  • 2 large garlic
  • 1 tsp flaked sea salt
  • freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  • For the dough, combine the flour, yeast and salt with up to 350ml/12fl oz lukewarm water, until you have a soft dough. Knead for 10-15 minutes (you can do this by hand or in a free-standing mixer fitted with a dough hook). Transfer to an oiled bowl, cover with cling film and leave to rise for 30 minutes.
  • After 30 minutes, place into a lined and slightly warmed baking tray of 37 x 27cm/14 x 10¾in. Drizzle with olive oil and top with fresh rosemary, chopped garlic, sea salt and a little pepper.
  • Press your fingers into the dough to make dimples and then rest again for another 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 240C/450F/Gas 8.
  • Bake for about 15 minutes, or until evenly golden-brown. Check the focaccia from time to time as domestic ovens can very often colour one side and not the other. Check and move the tray accordingly.
  • Once cooked, remove from the oven and immediately drizzle some olive oil all over. Leave to cool, then cut into squares.
