Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the water, yeast, and sugar. Gently stir the mixture and let sit for 5 mins
After 5 minutes, add the flours and salt. Mix together the dough and once a shaggy dough forms add in olive oil. Mix together until it is evenly combined.
Cover the bowl of dough with a towel and let rise in warm spot for 1 hour
Buttered a 9x13 inch metal pan. Pour in 2 tablespoons oil and transfer the dough to the buttered and greased pan. Stretch out the dough to the corners of the pan. Let rise 1 hour
Baking:
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees
Drizzle a generous pour of olive oil over the dough
Lightly wet your hands and using your fingers, gently press down into the dough creating dimples. This is what gives focaccia its signature look. It is important to do this step gently. You want to create dimples in the dough but avoid knocking all of the air out of it.
Add a sprinkle of flaky sea salt and chopped rosemary and place it in the 450 degree oven.
Bake for 20 - 30 minutes until golden and crunchy on the outside, but soft in the middle
