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.
