Prep : 10 Total : 25 minutes

Ingredients
  

Dough Ingredients

  • 1 cup white whole wheat flour (King Arthur recommended)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • salt a pinch
  • 0.25 ounces instant dry yeast 1 package
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 0.5 cups lukewarm water about 105°F (start with 0.5 cups, add more if needed)

Toppings

  • olive oil for brushing
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
  • In a large bowl, combine the white whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, salt, instant dry yeast, and garlic salt. Stir well to combine.
  • Add 0.5 cups of lukewarm water and mix. Then add another 0.25 cups if needed, continuing to mix until all the flour is absorbed. The dough should be shaggy.
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 1 minute until it starts to come together.
  • Lightly oil a large bowl. Place the dough in the bowl and turn it to coat evenly with the oil.
  • Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes, or until it has visibly increased in size.
  • Gently punch down the dough and knead it briefly again on a lightly floured surface.
  • Roll or stretch the dough into a rectangular shape, about 0.25 inches thick, and place it on a lightly greased baking sheet.
  • Dimple the surface of the dough with your fingertips, creating indentations.
  • Brush the dimpled dough generously with olive oil. Sprinkle evenly with garlic powder, dried oregano, and dried rosemary.
  • Bake for 10 to 20 minutes, or until the focaccia is golden brown and crispy on the edges.
  • Remove from the oven and let it cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes before slicing.
  • Slice the focaccia into wedges or squares. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces, cheese, or as a side dish.

Notes

This focaccia is delicious served warm. It can be cut into bite-sized pieces for appetizers or larger slices for sandwiches. For an extra garlicky flavor, you can rub a clove of garlic over the warm bread after baking.
