Rosemary - Garlic Focaccia image

I was lucky enough to have my Italian uncle Pat make this for me all through my teens. I like to think now that it sustained me more than physically. I could eat this every day and never get tired of it - it's the perfect bread.

Categories     Yeast Breads

Time 1h25m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 ounce active dry yeast (one envelope)
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
4 -4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons dried rosemary, crumbled
3 -5 garlic cloves, minced very fine (depending on how garlicky you want it, I go all the way!)
1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt or 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt

Steps:

  • In a bowl, stir together yeast, sugar and 1 ¾ cups lukewarm water and proof yeast for 10-15 minutes, or until foamy.
  • Stir in 4 cup of flour, 1 tblsps of the olive oil and the salt, adding as much of the remaining flour as necessary to form a soft and slightly sticky dough.
  • Transfer to a lightly-oiled bowl, turn to coat, and let rise, covered, in a warm place for 1 hour, or until double in size. Knead dough down and press with lightly-oiled hands into a well-oiled 15 ½ x 10 ½ inch jelly-roll pan and let it rise, covered loosely, for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Set rack in center of oven.
  • Dimple dough with your fingers in places, drizzle 2 tblsps olive oil over and spread over dough; sprinkle with rosemary, garlic and sea salt.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes or until pale golden. Let cool for 10 minutes before cutting. Serve warm or at room temperature.
  • Note: I often make up the garlic/oil/rosemary mixture one or two days ahead of time and refrigerate it. Dried oregano is also a GREAT add-in.

This focaccia was a bit too crumbly for my taste, but the flavors were great. The rosemary and garlic were a perfect combination, and the bread was still soft and fluffy.

I made this focaccia with a mix of white and whole wheat flour and it turned out great! The bread was a bit denser than with all white flour, but it was still soft and fluffy. The rosemary and garlic flavors were also delicious.
