3 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour (with xanthan gum)
1.5 cups Warm water (110°F)

0.25 cup Olive oil + more for topping
1 tablespoon Honey or sugar
1 teaspoon Salt
Flaky sea salt & herbs For topping

- Combine flour and salt in a large bowl. Pour in yeast mixture and 1/4 cup olive oil. Stir until sticky dough forms
- Cover bowl with plastic wrap. Let rise in warm spot for 1 hour
- Pour 2 tablespoons olive oil into a 9×13-inch pan. Transfer dough to pan. Gently stretch to edges. Cover and let rise again for 30 minutes
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Dimple dough with fingers, drizzle more oil, sprinkle salt and herbs

Notes
Use a kitchen scale for accurate flour measurement.
Don't skip the first rise; it builds flavor.
Use warm water (110°F), not hot, to activate the yeast.
Dimple deeply so oil pools in the pockets.
Let focaccia cool completely before slicing for best texture.
Store in airtight container at room temperature for 2 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
Reheat in 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes; avoid microwave.
