Cooking Instructions!
In a large bowl, mix the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt.
Add warm water to the mixture and stir until a sticky dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours or until doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Punch down the dough and transfer it to a greased baking sheet. Press it gently to spread it out.
Drizzle olive oil over the dough and sprinkle dried herbs and coarse sea salt on top.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the focaccia is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
