Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups warm water (between 110 to 115 degrees)
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/4 ounce (1 package) yeast
- 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (you may need more to achieve the smooth elasticity)
- 2 teaspoons salt, plus more for seasoning
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons mixed chopped herbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan
- Freshly ground black pepper
Directions
In a small bowl, dissolve the sugar in the warm water. Sprinkle the yeast over the mixture and let stand for 10 minutes, to bloom (it should begin to foam).
In the mixer bowl with the dough hook attached, add 3 cups of flour, salt, and yeast mixture. Slowly turn it on and work the dough together. Turn it up to medium and mix for 5 minutes. If the dough is sticky, continue mixing and gradually add the remaining flour. Place this smooth ball of dough into an oiled bowl, cover, and set aside to rise for 3 hours.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread the dough out on a oiled sheet tray and press "dimples" into it with your fingertips. Drizzle with the oil, herbs, cheese, and seasonings. Bake until browned and cooked through and let cool.

Soooo good! I had to add more flour to the recipe and I used dried herbs that I had on hand, but it was a hit with the family.

This recipe was unbelievably SALTY! Do not add 2 teaspoon of salt. One would be fine. Also, it took a lot more flour than listed in the ingredients. For me, it took about 30 minutes for the focaccia to be lightly browned.

This is the easiest and best recipe for focaccia bread I have ever tried. It is ten times better with fresh herbs and cracked sea salt. Everyone loves this recipe, and whoever came up with it I would like to personally think them for making me so popular with the people I feed.
