Warm and buttery Italian garlic and rosemary focaccia bread made with olive oil infused rosemary, thyme and garlic. This luscious bread will satisfy any craving!
In a skillet, add olive oil, garlic, thyme, rosemary, and pepper. Heat on low heat, occasionally stirring for 5 to 10 minutes. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, add water, yeast, and honey. Stir, and let rest for 5 minutes or until yeast starts to bubble. Add in 1 cup of flour and 1/4 cup of the olive oil mixture. Stir until the flour is just combined. Let mixture rest for 5 minutes.
Mix in the remaining flour and the salt. On a floured surface, knead dough until smooth. Place dough in a greased bowl and cover with a damp towel. Rise for one hour.
Once the dough has doubled in size, preheat the oven to 400 F. Pour 2 tablespoons of the olive oil onto the bottom of a quarter baking sheet or 9x13 pan.
Place the dough into the pan, and stretch it to the sides of the pan until it completely covers the bottom. Using the tips of your fingers, indent the surface of the dough several times. Brush the remaining olive oil on top of the dough.
Allow the dough to rest for another 20 minutes. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the bread is golden brown.
