Ingredients:

- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon sugar

- 1 cup warm water
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced

Serving: 8-10
To start, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add the warm water and olive oil, and mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough for 5-10 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Next, place the dough in a greased bowl and cover it with a damp towel. Let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, until it has doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Grease a baking sheet with olive oil.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to the prepared baking sheet. Use your fingers to press the dough out into a rectangle shape. Drizzle the top with olive oil, and sprinkle with minced garlic, dried herbs, and sea salt.
Bake the Garlic and Herb Focaccia for 20-25 minutes, until it is golden brown and crispy on the outside. Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
This Garlic and Herb Focaccia is perfect as an appetizer or side dish. It has a crispy crust and a soft, chewy interior, with a delicious garlic and herb flavor. Serve it warm with a side of olive oil and balsamic vinegar for dipping.
