Rosemary and Garlic Focaccia

Directions

• In a mixing bowl, add warm water and honey – stir to dissolve the honey.
• Add yeast, and mix. Let sit for 5-10 mins until yeast is foamy.
• Add flour, olive oil and salt. Mix well by hand until it sticks together into a ball.
• Remove dough from bowl and knead by hand on a cutting board or smooth surface for 3-5 minutes until smooth. Spray bowl with cooking spray or olive oil, and return dough to bowl.
• Once it has risen (it won’t be a huge rise), remove from bowl and transfer to a baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray. Press dough into a large circle about 1″ thick. Cover with a warm damp towel, and let rise for about 20 more minutes.
• Cover bowl with a warm damp towel, and place in warm location. Let rise for 60 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Remove towel, and use your fingers to poke holes all over the dough – press down to the baking sheet. Drizzle about 2 Tbsp of olive oil over the dough, using a pastry brush to spread. Sprinkle about 2 Tbsp sea salt and the garlic and rosemary all over the top.
• Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Slice into 8-10 wedges.
• Enjoy warm dipped in olive oil with fresh cracked pepper!
