- 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
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the yeast, salt, and warm water.
- Mix in the flour, starting with 2 cups, and then adding the rest, until a sticky, shaggy dough forms.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Gently press the fresh sage leaves on top of the bread.
- Bake for about 25 minutes until puffed and starting to turn golden.
