Preparation Steps
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 4 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of kosher salt, and 2 teaspoons of instant yeast.
- Gradually add 1 and 3/4 cups of lukewarm water to the flour mixture and stir until a sticky dough forms.
- Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- Wet your hands and stretch and fold the dough in the bowl 8 to 10 times.
- Drizzle a tablespoon of olive oil over the dough and gently turn it to coat, then refrigerate for 12 hours to 3 days.
- Grease two baking pans with butter or olive oil and pour an additional tablespoon of olive oil into each pan.
- Remove the chilled dough, deflate it, and shape it into two round balls.
- Place the dough balls in the pans, cover with a kitchen towel, and let them rest at room temperature for 3 to 4 hours.
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) about 20 minutes before baking.
- Dimple the surface of each dough ball, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with rosemary and flaky sea salt.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped.
- Let the focaccia cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before slicing.

Notes
Store focaccia at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 2 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in a preheated oven for best results.
