Here is a simple focaccia recipe that you can try at home: Ingredients:

• 1.5 cups warm water
• 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Toppings (optional):

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt

Directions:

1. In a small bowl, combine the warm water and yeast. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes until the yeast has dissolved.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil, and stir until a dough forms.
3. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 5 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
4. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
5. Preheat your oven to 450°F.
6. Once the dough has risen, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a large rectangle. Transfer the dough to a greased baking sheet and use your fingers to dimple the surface of the dough.
7. If using toppings, brush the top of the dough with olive oil and sprinkle with rosemary and salt.
8. Bake the focaccia for 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bottom is crisp.
9. Let the focaccia cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
