   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1 1/4             c.  water
   1               tsp.  granulated sugar
   2 1/4      teaspoons  active dry yeast -- (0.25-oz.)
   3 1/4                 all-purpose flour -- plus more as needed
   2               tsp.  kosher salt
      1/2            c.  extra-virgin olive oil
   2              tbsp.  fresh rosemary leaves
                         Flaky sea salt

Our version is totally classic, topped with fresh rosemary leaves and 
crunchy sea salt. It's perfectly crispy-toasty on the outside and 
super soft-fluffy inside.

PREP: 5 MINS
TOTAL: 1:40

To a small, microwave-safe bowl or glass measuring cup, add water. 
Microwave until lukewarm, about 40 seconds. Add sugar and stir to 
dissolve, then sprinkle over yeast and stir to combine. Let sit until 
frothy, about 15 minutes.

Grease a large bowl with 2 tablespoons olive oil. In another large 
bowl, add flour, salt, and 2 more tablespoons olive oil. Pour in 
yeast mixture, then mix with a wooden spoon until everything is 
combined. Knead against the side of the bowl until dough comes 
together in a loose ball, then transfer to a lightly floured work 
surface and knead until elastic and smooth, about 5 minutes more. 
Transfer to greased bowl and toss to coat dough in oil. Cover with 
plastic wrap and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Toward the end of the rise, preheat oven to 400F. Grease a 9"-x-13" 
baking sheet evenly with 2 more tablespoons olive oil. Lightly punch 
down dough to deflate slightly, then transfer to prepared baking 
sheet. Press with your fingers to stretch and guide dough to the 
edges of the sheet, making indentations all over as you go. Drizzle 
top with 2 more tablespoons olive oil and brush to coat, then 
sprinkle all over with rosemary and flaky salt. (For an even 
crunchier golden top, feel free to use more olive oil!)

Bake until focaccia is puffy and golden, about 25 minutes.
