Combine the warm water, yeast and sugar in a small bowl. In the bowl of a mixer fitted. In a large bowl, stir together the flour, salt, sugar, yeast, garlic powder, oregano, thyme, basil and black pepper. Mix in the vegetable oil and water.

To get started with this recipe, we have to prepare a few ingredients. You can have focaccia using 8 ingredients and 11 steps. Here is how you cook it.

The ingredients needed to make Focaccia:

1. Prepare 500 g x strong white flour
2. Get 7 g x dried yeast
3. Make ready 280 g x warm water
4. Take 150 x ml extra virgin olive oil
5. Make ready 2 tsp x table salt
6. Make ready 2 tsp x flaky sea salt
7. Get 2 tsp x fennel seeds (opt)
8. Prepare 2 sprigs x chopped rosemary

The drizzle of olive oil and scattering of herbs is key to the bread's delicious flavor. If you want to fill your kitchen with the smell of fresh-baked bread but you're nervous about shaping a boule or working with a starter, focaccia is the best place to begin. Mix the yeast and water in a small bowl. In large bowl, stir together flour, salt, sugar, garlic powder, oregano, thyme, basil, and black pepper.

Steps to make Focaccia:

1. Add the yeast to the water and stir, add approximately half the flour into a large bowl then add the yeasty water to it
2. Add approx half the olive oil and stir to a very sticky dough, then add the table salt
3. Then add about half of the remaining flour to the mixture and work in with your hands, turn out on to a work surface and start kneading, if you want you can do all of this process in a stand mixer with a dough hook but you want the work out right?
4. So keep kneading and adding a bit of flour only when the dough is too sticky for up to 15 minutes, eventually the dough will be tacky not sticky and elastic. Persevere and you will get there, you may not require all of the flour?
5. As you knead the dough will become elastic, in the third photo I'm stretching it out but it's not quite there
6. In the first image I'm pressing dents into the dough and if it slowly springs back then your dough is well kneaded, well done. Now prove the dough, place in a clean oiled bowl and toss it over so it's coated and cover with cling film. Leave in a warm area to double in size, depending on the temp this can take 30 minutes up to 90. Put your feet up and have a cup of tea
7. When doubled in size turn out onto the work surface and drizzle some olive oil and then flatten out with your hands
8. Stretch the dough out larger than a piece of A4 paper and fold one end to the centre then the other end over that (like folding a business letter) then with it horizontally to you repeat the same folds the right side into the centre then the left side over that to create a squarish dough with several oiled layers as you can see in the last image
9. Cover dough and allow to double again, select your baking dish or roasting tray and oil it thoroughly with the remaining oil, I sprinkle a little of the sea salt in the dish then turn the proven dough into the tray and with your fingers encourage it into the corners and try to make it even. We are going to prove this once more. By the way this takes for ever if you hadn't realised yet!
10. Once proved make dents with your fingers all over this gives the olive oil and seasonings somewhere to hang out, drizzle with even more olive oil and generously scatter sea salt, fennel seeds and chopped rosemary
11. Wait 10 minutes to allow the dough to puff back a little after the dents were made then bake at 220c for about 30 minutes, turn onto a cooling rack drizzle with extra oil if you like and resist eating for 20 minutes or so to let it cool.
