Ingredients

  • 1 ½cupsbread flour
  • 1 ½cupsunbleached all-purpose flour
  • 2teaspoonssalt
  • 1tablespoonwhite sugar
  • 1(.25 ounce) packageinstant yeast
  • 1 ⅓cupswarm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
  • 3tablespoonsextra virgin olive oil, divided
  • 2tablespoonschopped fresh rosemary
  • 2tablespoonsgrated Parmesan cheese

  • Directions

    Stir together both flours and salt in a large, stoneware bowl. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture; sprinkle sugar and yeast into the well. Carefully pour the water into the well. Let stand until the yeast begins to act, about 5 minutes.

    Pour 2 tablespoons oil into the well. Stir the center of the mixture with a wooden spoon, gradually widening the are you are stirring to incorporate all the flour.

    Turn dough out onto a floured surface, and knead just until smooth. Keep the dough soft.

    Pour 1/2 teaspoon oil into a clean bowl. Place the dough in the bowl, turning once to oil the top. Cover and let rise until doubled, 30 to 45 minutes.

    Grease a baking sheet with 1 teaspoon oil.

    Punch the dough down and transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Gently press dough out to a thickness of about 1/2 inch.

    Pour the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons oil over the top of the dough. Use the handle end of a wooden spoon to dimple the dough at 1 1/2 inch intervals. Sprinkle with rosemary and Parmesan cheese. Place in a cold oven on the center shelf. Place a flat pan of hot water on the shelf below the bread. Let rise until doubled in size, 20 to 25 minutes.

    Turn the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Bake the focaccia until browned on top, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the pan, and cool on a wire rack. Serve warm.
