Step-by-Step Instructions for Garlic Parmesan Focaccia Bread
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, and yeast. Pour in warm water and olive oil. Stir vigorously until a sticky dough forms and let it rise for 1-2 hours.
  2. Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with olive oil and set aside.
  3. Once risen, punch down the dough, transfer to the baking pan and stretch to fit the edges. Let it rise for another 30 minutes.
  4. Heat olive oil in a small saucepan. Add minced garlic and a pinch of salt, infusing for about 5 minutes without browning.
  5. Create dimples in the risen dough and drizzle with the garlic-infused oil. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese, fresh herbs, and flaky sea salt on top.
  6. Preheat oven to 425°F and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Remove from oven, cool for 10 minutes, slice, and serve warm.
