Rosemary Garlic Focaccia Bread Recipe Is Surprisingly Easy to Make by 30Seconds Food

Focaccia is a flat Italian bread that's often served as a side dish or used to make sandwiches. This focaccia bread recipe is full of herbs and garlic – and is surprisingly easy to make. 

You could omit the thyme and just use rosemary, or vice versa. Or use your favorite fresh herbs. 

Cuisine: Italian
Prep Time: 1 hour 45 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 2 hours and 5 minutes

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced fine
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• freshly ground black pepper
• 1 cup warm water
• 1 packet active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
• 1/4 teaspoon sugar
• 2 1/2 cups flour
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Here's how to make it: 

1. Add the olive oil, garlic, thyme, rosemary and a few cracks of freshly ground black pepper to a skillet. Cook on low heat until herbs let off their fragrance, about 5 minutes. Do not let the garlic brown. Pour into a bowl and set aside.
2. In a large bowl, add the yeast, warm water and sugar. Stir and allow to sit for 5 minutes. 
3. Add 1 cup of flour along with 1/4 cup of the garlic-herb oil. When just moist, allow the dough to sit for another 5 minutes. 
4. Add in the rest of the flour and salt. Mix until it forms a dough.
5. Put the dough onto a floured work surface. Knead the dough about 15 times. Put the dough into an oiled bowl and cover with a kitchen towel. Let the dough rise for 1 hour. 
6. To bake the bread, oil a 13x9-inch high-rimmed baking pan with about 2 tablespoons of the garlic-herb oil. Put the dough onto the baking sheet and press into the pan, using your fingertips to create small indentions in the dough. 
7. Pour about 2 tablespoons of the remaining garlic-herb oil on the top of the dough. Let the dough rise for 15-20 minutes.
8. Bake in a preheated 450-degree F oven for about 20 minutes. Sprinkle with crushed red pepper flakes, if desired.
