Roasted Garlic and Herb Focaccia

This golden, garlicky focaccia is infused with fragrant herbs and topped with crispy roasted garlic—perfect for tearing apart and sharing (or not!).

Ingredients

• 1 cup warm water (110°F)
• 2 tsp active dry yeast
• 1 tsp granulated sugar
• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided
• 1 head garlic, cloves peeled
• 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 tsp flaky sea salt

Instructions

1. Proof the yeast: Stir together warm water, yeast, and sugar in a measuring cup. Let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
2. Make the dough: In a large bowl, mix flour and kosher salt. Pour in yeast mixture and 2 tbsp olive oil, stirring until a shaggy dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for 5 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled.
3. Roast the garlic: Toss garlic cloves with 1 tbsp olive oil on a small baking sheet. Roast at 375°F for 15 minutes until golden and soft.

5. Bake: Let rise for 20 minutes, then bake at 400°F for 20–25 minutes until deeply golden. Cool slightly before slicing.

The roasted garlic melts into the bread, creating pockets of caramelized sweetness that balance the herby crust. (Pro tip: Leftovers make unbeatable sandwiches!)

Tip: For extra flavor, infuse the olive oil with rosemary and garlic while the dough rises—just warm them gently in a small saucepan.
