Method
 

Steps
  1. Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm water with the active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
  2. Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour and salt. Slowly pour in the yeast mixture along with olive oil, stirring until a sticky dough forms.
  3. First Rise: Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm area for 1 to 2 hours until doubled in size.
  4. Shape the Dough: Grease a baking pan with olive oil. Transfer the risen dough and create dimples on the surface.
  5. Add Toppings: Drizzle the dough with olive oil, sprinkle with minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, and optional Italian herbs.
  6. Bake: Preheat oven to 425°F. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Cool & Serve: Let the focaccia cool for a few minutes before slicing and enjoying warm.
