Focaccia

Such an easy and delicious bread. We make it a lot and I’ve been trying variations on it to come up with the best recipe.

Ingredients:
5 cups strong bread flour (500 g)
1 package dried yeast (7 g or ¼ oz)
1 tsp salt
3 tbsp olive oil
1½ cups tepid water (about 400 ml)
extra olive oil
warm water
sea salt
rosemary, optional

Instructions:
1. Mix the flour, yeast, salt, olive oil, and water together with a wooden spoon in a large bowl.
2. Turn out onto an oiled surface and knead well, for 5-10 minutes. Shape into a loaf.
3. Cover with a tea towel and leave to rise in a warm place for about an hour.
4. Dip your fingers in warm water and made indentations in the loaf.
5. Sprinkle with olive oil, sea salt, and rosemary.
6. Bake 220 C for about 15-20 minutes.
