Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a small bowl, combine warm water, active dry yeast, and sugar. Stir gently and allow to sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Pour in the frothy yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until sticky dough forms.
  3. Dust a clean surface with flour and transfer the dough. Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Grease a large bowl with olive oil and place the kneaded dough inside. Cover with a cloth and let rise in a warm area for 1-2 hours.
  5. Preheat the oven to 425°F and grease a baking sheet.
  6. Punch down the risen dough and stretch it to fit the greased baking sheet, creating dimples across the surface.
  7. Drizzle olive oil over the surface and sprinkle with minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, rosemary, and sea salt.
  8. Allow the focaccia to rest for 20-30 minutes in the warm oven.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Let cool slightly before slicing.
