    Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
    1 2/3           cups  water -- room temp
    4          teaspoons  active dry yeast
    2               cups  finely ground emmer wheat
    2 1/2           cups  all-purpose flour -- plus more for dusting
    1           teaspoon  sugar
    5        tablespoons  olive oil
    1 3/4      teaspoons  table salt
    1              clove  garlic -- finely minced
       1/2      teaspoon  kosher salt -- or fleur de sel
    1           teaspoon  chopped fresh rosemary
                          extra virgin olive oil -- for drizzling

In the bowl of an electric mixer, using a handheld whisk, whisk 
together the water, yeast and ground emmer wheat and let stand until 
slightly foamy, about 10 minutes. Add the all-purpose flour, sugar, 2 
Tbs. of the olive oil, the table salt and garlic.

Fit the mixer with the dough hook and beat on low speed until the 
dough begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl and form a ball, 
about 10 minutes. Transfer the dough to a well-floured work surface 
and gently shape into a ball.

Coat a baking sheet with 1 Tbs. of the olive oil. Place the dough on 
the baking sheet and coat the top with the remaining 2 Tbs. olive 
oil. Wrap the baking sheet loosely with plastic wrap and place in a 
warm spot (about 80F) until the dough has doubled in volume, about 1 hour.

Preheat an oven to 450F.

Remove the plastic wrap from the baking sheet and gently stretch the 
dough evenly until it covers the bottom of the sheet. Using your 
fingertips, press gently into the dough to create small dimples 
evenly over the surface. Sprinkle the dough with the fleur de sel and 
rosemary. Wrap the baking sheet loosely with plastic wrap and place 
in a warm spot (about 80ºF) until the dough has almost doubled in 
volume and is soft to the touch, about 30 minutes.

Remove the plastic wrap from the baking sheet. Bake until the 
focaccia is lightly browned on the surface and springs back lightly 
when pressed, 13 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and drizzle the 
focaccia with extra-virgin olive oil. Let cool for 10 minutes before 
cutting into squares.

Makes 24 squares.

Description:
    "Thick, chewy and fragrant with rosemary and garlic, this 
focaccia just needs a drizzle of olive oil to make a perfect meal."
