In a large bowl add in the water, sugar, and yeast. Wait for 5 minutes until the yeast starts to foam. Add, to your yeast mixture, olive oil. Mix until combined.
Add in the flour. Mix and when the flour is almost incorporated into the mixture add 1 teaspoon of salt. Mix until all is combined.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place (I like using the microwave) for 3 hours.
Then oil a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Also, I like using my stone cookie sheet. Just add oil and no parchment paper
After the 3 hours, your dough will be very sticky and bubbly. Pour the dough into the prepared pan, I found that putting a dash of oil in my hands makes it easier to spread.
Gently spread the dough on the baking sheet as best as you can. Use your fingers to make 3-4 holes in the dough. Then sprinkle the kosher salt all over the dough, to your liking. I use about 1/2 teaspoon.
Place the baking sheet in a warm place or back in the microwave for 2 hours.
30 minutes before the 2 hours is ending, preheat the oven to 425F
Place the focaccia in the oven. Bake for 18 to 21 minutes or until the focaccia becomes golden.
Serve and enjoy!
