Small wood breadboards make charming delivery vehicles. To get the look, wrap a strip of waxed paper around the board and bread and tie with twine. For extra flair, tie a rosemary sprig to the board handle. Ingredients 4 cup all-purpose flour 1⅔ cup water (105ºF to 115ºF ) 1 teaspoon active dry yeast 1½ teaspoon kosher salt 1/4 cup olive oil Flaky sea salt, pitted olives, garlic, and/or fresh rosemary Directions In a large bowl combine 3 cups of the flour, the kosher salt, and yeast. Stir in the warm water until mixture is moistened (dough will be sticky and soft). Cover bowl loosely with plastic wrap. Let stand at room temperature 2 hours. Lightly coat a 15x10-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray and drizzle with 2 Tbsp. of the olive oil. Stir remaining 1 cup flour into dough with a fork. Using a rubber spatula coated with cooking spray, gently spread dough in prepared baking pan (dough will be sticky). Cover with greased plastic wrap. Let rise at room temperature until puffy (1½ to 2 hours). Preheat oven to 400ºF. Poke top of dough all over with your fingers to create a dimpled surface. If you like, add olives, garlic, and/or rosemary. Drizzle remaining 2 Tbsp. oil over dough. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Bake 30 minutes or until golden. Let cool. Herbed Focaccia: Prepare as above, except add 2 teaspoons snipped fresh rosemary with the warm water, salt, and flour in step 1.
