Ingredients

1-2 Tablespoons Butter
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil Extra Virgin

Focaccia Dough:

3 ⅓ cups All Purpose Flour (416g)
1 Packet Instant Yeast (2 ¼ teaspoons)
1 ½ teaspoons White Granulated Sugar
1 teaspoon Salt
1 ⅔ cups Warm Water (400ml) 110-115°F
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil Extra Virgin

Topping:

Sea Salt
Fresh Rosemary
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil Extra Virgin

Instructions

Add butter to a 9x13 oven safe dish and spread it around the bottom of the dish with your fingers. Drizzle olive oil around the dish.
Add all purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar and salt to a mixing bowl. Mix together.
Add warm water and olive oil and mix it into a dough.
Pour the dough out into your prepared 9x13 dish. Don't worry to spread it out in any way, however it lands in the dish, just leave it be.
Cover the dish and leave to rise for 1 hour.
After 1 hour you'll see that the dough has risen and spread to the edges of the dish.
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Rub your fingers with olive oil and then use your fingers to poke holes in the dough, all over the surface of the dough.
Sprinkle fresh rosemary on top along with a sprinkle of sea salt. Drizzle olive oil over the surface of the dough.
Bake for 20 minutes until golden and crispy on top.
Slice and serve the focaccia directly from the dish or transfer it to a wooden board, cut into squares and serve warm.

Notes

Instant yeast - is also known as rapid rise yeast.
Warm water - should be warm to the touch and not hot. You don't have to be super precise with it, as long as it feels warm and not hot you're good to go. But if you want to be exact then you can use an instant read thermometer - the water temp should be 110-115°F.
Storing: Best when freshly baked, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days. Reheat in the oven until warmed through before serving for best results.
