Ingredients
For the Dough

- 1 cup Water (105-115°f)
- 2 1/4 tsp Active Yeast (1 packet), dry
- 1 tbsp Sugar granulated
- 1 tbsp Kosher Salt
- 1/4 cup Olive Oil plus more for greasing
- 1 Clove Garlic thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp Rosemary chopped, divided, fresh
For the Topping
- 1/4 cup Olive Oil
- 1/2 cup Caramelized Onion recipe below
- 2 tbsp Bell Peppers chopped, red, roasted
- 9 Cherry Tomatoes halved
- 2 tbsp Olives sliced
- 1 tbsp Rosemary chopped, fresh
- 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- Pepper to taste, black, freshly, ground
- 1 tsp Kosher Salt
For Caramelized Onions
- 1/2 cup Onion thinly sliced, yellow
- 1 tbsp Butter
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 tsp Sugar brown
- 1 tsp Balsamic Vinegar
Instructions
Prepare the Caramelized Onions
- Sauté thinly sliced onions in butter and olive oil over medium-low heat until softened. Stir in brown sugar and balsamic vinegar; cook until deeply caramelized and slightly browned, about 20-25 minutes.
Activate the Yeast
- In a small bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let stand for 3-5 minutes until foamy.
Make the Dough
- In a large bowl, combine bread flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and 1/4 cup olive oil. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
Knead the Dough
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Incorporate sliced garlic and 1 tbsp of chopped rosemary into the dough during kneading.
First Rise
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 45-60 minutes, or until doubled in size.
Prepare the Baking Pan
- Lightly grease a baking sheet with olive oil. Sprinkle with a little flour.
Shape and Second Rise
- Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet. Gently stretch and shape it into a 1/2-inch thick rectangle. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 15 minutes.
Preheat and Dimple
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Uncover the dough and dimple the surface with your fingertips.
Add the Topping
- Brush the dough with remaining olive oil. Top with caramelized onions, roasted red peppers, halved cherry tomatoes, olives, remaining rosemary, parmesan cheese, salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
Bake
- Bake on the bottom rack of the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Cool and Serve
- Let cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Perfect Focaccia
- For extra flavor, use a high-quality extra virgin olive oil.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with other herbs and vegetables. Sun-dried tomatoes or artichoke hearts would be delicious additions.
- If your dough seems too sticky, add a tablespoon or two of flour at a time until it becomes manageable.
- For a crispier crust, bake the focaccia on a pizza stone or baking steel.
