Ingredients

  • 1/4 ounce package active dry yeast
  • 2 cups warm water (110-115F)
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 4 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • fresh sage leaves, for topping

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the yeast, salt, and warm water.
  2. Mix in the flour, starting with 2 cups, and then adding the rest, until a sticky, shaggy dough forms.
  3. Transfer to a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and allow to rise for about 1 hour, until at least doubled in size and very bubbly. Preheat oven to 400F while it is rising.
  4. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Turn the focaccia dough onto the lined baking sheet and gently spread it out with your fingers into a large rectange or oval.
  5. Dipping your fingers in the olive oil, make dimples over the top of the bread, and top with a bit more flaky salt. Note: don't be shy with the olive oil, it gives the bread great flavor and creates a crunchy crust.
  6. Gently press the fresh sage leaves on top of the bread.
  7. Bake for about 25 minutes until puffed and starting to turn golden.
