Steps:
- Combine the flour, baking soda, salt, rosemary, and thyme in the bowl of an upright mixer, fitted with a paddle attachment. Add the butter and mix on low speed until incorporated, about 2 minutes. With the machine running, slowly add the water until the mixture forms a dough, adding more water, if needed, 1 tablespoon at a time. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface and knead for 5 minutes until smooth. Cut the dough into 4 equal pieces. Form into disc shapes and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Place a grill pan over medium-high heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out each piece of dough into an 8 to 10-inch circle, about 1/8-inch thick. Brush each circle with olive oil and grill for 4 minutes each side. Remove the flatbread from the grill and cool slightly before serving.

Steps:
- Stir yeast packet into water and allow yeast to bloom. (A light foam should appear on top of the water after about 5 minutes. This means the yeast is alive and active.)
- Add olive oil to water and mix.
- In a large bowl, mix flour, salt, pepper, and herbs together.
- Once incorporated, create a small well in the middle and pour in the water/yeast/oil mixture.
- Mix by hand, wetting your working hand before mixing so the dough doesn't stick to your fingers. The water and flour should come together and form a rough dough that pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
- NOTE: If the dough is too sticky, add more flour in small increments, about 1 tablespoon at a time. If the dough is too dry, add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time.
- Once the dough begins to come together, turn it out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead the dough until it forms a smooth ball.
- Coat the bowl the dough was initially mixed in with about a tablespoon of olive oil and place the dough ball inside. Give it a few turns to coat the dough in the oil.
- Cover and let the dough rise until it doubles in size about 1 hour.
- While the dough rises, prepare a large baking sheet by generously coating it with olive oil.
- Once the dough has risen, turn it out onto the prepared baking sheet and flatten it out into a large rectangle.
- Using a knife or dough scraper, cut the dough into 4 evenly sized rectangles.
- Press the rectangles flat and arrange them with each one pressed into a corner of the baking sheet.
- Cover and let the dough rest for 20 to 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 450˚F (230˚C) while the dough is resting.
- Depending on the temperature of your kitchen and activeness of the yeast, the 4 rectangles should have risen to be about an 1-inch (2 ½ cm) thick.
- Using your fingers, poke the the dough all over--creating small dimples across the surface.
- Generously coat the tops of the dough rectangles one last time with olive oil (some oil will pool inside of the divots we made with our fingers. That's ok!) Use a basting brush to ensure all of the dough gets covered with olive oil.
- Top the dough rectangles with your choice of toppings. (We did four different combinations, including tomatoes with fresh rosemary, caramelized onions and parmesan cheese, mixed olive with gorgonzola cheese, and 3-cheese using parmesan, mozzarella, and gorgonzola.)
- Once finished with the toppings, liberally sprinkle the breads with a coarse salt.
- Bake at 450˚F (230˚C) for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
- Allow the bread to cool for 10 minutes before cutting into equal pieces.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Place water in a medium bowl; sprinkle with yeast. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. Stir in flour, oil, 2 teaspoons coarse salt, and the sugar. Stir until dough forms.
- Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface; knead with floured hands until smooth, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a lightly oiled bowl, and cover with plastic wrap. Let dough stand in a warm, draft-free place until it doubles in volume, about 1 hour.

Roll out 1 piece to roughly 4 by 10 inches on a lightly floured surface; transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush with egg wash; sprinkle with sea salt and herbs. Repeat with remaining dough, arranging 4 pieces per sheet.
- Bake, rotating sheets halfway through, until crisp and golden, 18 to 22 minutes. Let cool on sheets on a wire rack.
DELICIOUSLY EASY GARLIC HERB FOCACCIA
Make focaccia in an hour. Or a little longer if your bread machine doesn't have a pizza cycle. Also great as a pizza dough! I personally use 2 cups unbleached bread flour and 1 cup whole wheat flour. As with most recipes I have created - they are a base on which to build.

Tips:
- Choose the Right Flour: Selecting the right flour is crucial for the perfect flatbread. All-purpose flour works well, but bread flour or a mixture of all-purpose and bread flour can provide a chewier texture. For a gluten-free option, use a gluten-free flour blend.
- Activate the Yeast Properly: If using active dry yeast, ensure it's activated in warm water with a little sugar before adding it to the dough. This helps the yeast become active and produce carbon dioxide, resulting in a light and airy flatbread.
- Knead the Dough Thoroughly: Kneading the dough helps develop gluten, which gives the flatbread its structure and chewiness. Knead for at least 5-7 minutes until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
- Rest the Dough: After kneading, let the dough rest in a warm place for about an hour or until it doubles in size. This allows the yeast to work its magic and produce gases that will create air pockets in the flatbread.
- Roll Out the Dough Thinly: For a crispy flatbread, roll out the dough as thinly as possible without tearing it. Use a rolling pin or your hands to achieve the desired thickness.
- Preheat the Pan or Baking Stone: Preheat your baking sheet, cast iron skillet, or pizza stone to a high temperature before baking the flatbread. This helps create a crispy crust.
- Add Toppings Wisely: When adding toppings, consider their moisture content. Wet toppings like fresh vegetables may release moisture and make the flatbread soggy. Pre-cook or roast vegetables before adding them to avoid this.
- Bake Until Golden Brown: Bake the flatbread until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep an eye on it to prevent overcooking.
Conclusion:
With these versatile recipes, you can create delicious and flavorful flatbread focaccia in the comfort of your own kitchen. Experiment with different herbs, toppings, and combinations to suit your taste preferences. Whether you prefer a classic Margherita flatbread, a savory pesto and sun-dried tomato version, a cheesy bacon and jalapeño option, or a vegetarian delight with roasted vegetables, these recipes offer endless possibilities. So, gather your ingredients, preheat your oven, and embark on a culinary journey to create a flatbread masterpiece that will tantalize your taste buds. Enjoy!
