For the Focaccia Dough:

Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt.
Step 3: Pour the activated yeast mixture and olive oil into the flour mixture.
Step 4: Mix until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Step 5: Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours or until doubled in size.
For Assembling:
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2: Punch down the risen dough and transfer it to the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4: Cover the pan with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise for an additional 20-30 minutes.
Step 5: Using your fingertips, make dimples in the dough.
Step 6: Drizzle the top generously with extra virgin olive oil, ensuring it fills the dimples.
Step 7: Sprinkle coarse sea salt over the dough, and add fresh rosemary leaves if desired.
