To finish and bake:

-

▢ Vegetable oil spray

▢ 2 tablespoon­s extra virgin olive oil

▢ 2 tablespoon­s fresh rosemary leaves

▢ 1 teaspoon kosher salt

1. While dough rises, adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 450 degrees. Spray the inside bottom and sides of a 13-by-9inch metal baking pan with vegetable oil spray. Pour remaining 2 tablespoon­s oil into the baking pan and use a pastry brush to evenly coat pan with oil.

2. When dough is ready, transfer dough to a greased baking pan. Use your fingertips to gently pat and stretch dough out to the corners of the baking pan. (If dough snaps back when you press it to the corners of baking pan, cover it with plastic wrap, let it rest for 10 minutes, and try again.)

3. Let dough sit for 10 minutes. Use a fork to lightly poke the surface of the dough all over about 20 times. Sprinkle rosemary and remaining 1 teaspoon salt evenly over dough.

4.Place baking pan in oven and bake until focaccia is golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.

5. Transfer baking pan to cooling rack and let focaccia cool in pan for 15 minutes. Cut
