Ingredients
  

For the Dough:
  • 2 cups self-rising flour
  • 1.5 cups plain, fat-free Greek yogurt
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons fresh chopped rosemary
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Wooden spoon or spatula
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Oven

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour, Greek yogurt, olive oil, fresh rosemary, minced garlic, and sea salt. Stir with a wooden spoon until the mixture forms a shaggy dough.
  2. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Knead gently for about 2-3 minutes, just until the dough is smooth and cohesive. Avoid over-kneading as it can make the bread tough.
  3. Line your baking sheet with parchment paper. Drizzle a little olive oil onto the parchment to help prevent sticking.
  4. Place the dough onto the prepared baking sheet and stretch it out to fit the pan. Use your fingers to dimple the surface, creating those signature focaccia grooves.
  5. Drizzle a bit more olive oil over the top and sprinkle with additional rosemary and sea salt to enhance the flavor.
  6. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the focaccia is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
  7. Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Cut into squares or wedges and serve warm.

Notes

  • Store leftover focaccia in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
  • For longer storage, wrap slices in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months.
  • Reheat in the oven to revive the crust before serving.
