Let's Get Started
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt.
- Add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Punch down the dough and transfer it to a greased baking sheet. Press it out to form a rectangle or circle, about 1/2 inch thick.
- Arrange the sliced bell peppers and tomatoes on top of the dough. Sprinkle with chopped rosemary and sea salt.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the focaccia is golden brown and the vegetables are tender.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
