Focaccia con Rosmarino

Focaccia con Rosmarino is a traditional Italian flatbread infused with the aromatic flavor of fresh rosemary. Perfect for a light breakfast, it offers a delightful balance of crispy edges and a soft, chewy interior.

Ingredients

• All-purpose flour - 250 grams
• Warm water - 150 ml
• Active dry yeast - 7 grams
• Salt - 5 grams
• Olive oil - 30 ml
• Fresh rosemary - 2 sprigs, leaves removed and chopped
• Sea salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste

Steps

1. In a small bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast in warm water and let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and olive oil.
3. Mix until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
4. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
5. Preheat the oven to 220°C (428°F).
6. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Press it out into a rectangle or circle about 1 cm thick.
7. Using your fingertips, create dimples all over the surface of the dough. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with chopped rosemary, sea salt, and black pepper.
8. Let the dough rest for another 10 minutes, then bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
9. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before slicing and serving warm.
