Step-by-Step Instructions for Garlic Butter Focaccia
- In a small bowl, combine 1 cup of warm water with 1 tablespoon of honey or sugar and sprinkle the yeast over it. Allow to foam for about 10 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 4 cups of all-purpose flour and 2 teaspoons of salt. Set aside.
- Once the yeast is foamy, pour it along with 3 tablespoons of olive oil into the dry ingredients. Mix until a sticky dough forms.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm area for 1 to 3 hours until doubled in size.
- Melt ½ cup of salted butter and add 4 minced garlic cloves and 2 tablespoons of chopped parsley. Cook gently for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
- Pour the garlic butter into the risen dough, mix by stretching and folding, then let it rest for 15 minutes.
- Grease a baking sheet with olive oil and transfer the dough, stretching to fit the pan. Let it rise for 45 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 450°F. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with Parmesan before creating dimples with fingertips.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes until golden brown. The aroma will fill your kitchen.
- Cool on the pan for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes
Ensure the water temperature is just right to activate the yeast, and don't skip on the olive oil for richness.
