Rosemary Twilight Focaccia — ugh, yes please 🥖🌙✨ This is the kind of bread you serve with soup, wine, or nothing at all — it is the main event. It’s golden, fluffy, gently crisped at the edges, and smells like an evening stroll through a Mediterranean herb garden. Pure mood.
🌒 Rosemary Twilight Focaccia
A soft, golden bread kissed with olive oil, sea salt, and rosemary — like the scent of twilight and comfort baked into every bite.
Ingredients (makes 1 sheet):
- 2 1/4 tsp (1 packet) active dry yeast
- 1 1/4 cups warm water
- 1 tsp honey or sugar
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup olive oil (plus more for drizzling)
- 1 tbsp fresh rosemary (plus extra for topping)
- Flaky sea salt, for finish
- Optional: sliced red onions, cherry tomatoes, or olives
Instructions:
- Activate the Yeast:
In a bowl, mix warm water, yeast, and honey. Let it sit 5–10 mins until foamy. - Make the Dough:
Add flour, salt, and olive oil. Mix into a sticky dough. Stir in chopped rosemary. Knead briefly (or use a dough hook) until smooth-ish. - First Rise:
Place dough in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise for 1–2 hours until doubled in size. - Shape & Rest:
Gently press dough into a well-oiled sheet pan (roughly 9×13″). Use fingers to dimple the surface like soft moon craters 🌝
Let rise again for 20–30 mins. - Top It Off:
Drizzle with more olive oil, sprinkle with rosemary and flaky salt. Add any extras if using. - Bake the Dream:
Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 20–25 mins until puffed and golden brown. Let cool slightly before slicing into twilight squares.
✨ Caption Idea:
