Focaccia Bread

This homemade focaccia bread is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Perfect for sandwich bread or just dipped in olive oil.

Ingredients - Serves 8

In a large bowl, combine the warm water and sugar. Stir until sugar is dissolved.
Sprinkle the yeast over the water and let it sit for 5 minutes, or until it becomes frothy.
Add the flour, 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, and the salt to the yeast mixture. Stir until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Punch down the dough and press it into a greased baking sheet.
Use your fingers to make dimples in the dough. Drizzle it with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle it with the rosemary.
Bake for 20 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown.
