Instructions to make Focaccia bread:

1. Finely grate the garlic and place into a medium pan along with the extra virgin olive oil, thyme, rosemary and black pepper. On very low heat cook the ingredients for about 5 minutes or until the aroma fills the room, stirring occasionally (to ensure that the garlic does not burn) and set aside letting the mixture cool down completely.
2. In a measuring jug combine the warm water with the yeast and sugar (or honey). Stir to incorporate the mixture and let it sit for 5 minutes. The mixture should become frothy as the yeast activates.
3. In a large mixing bowl or large mixing stand (if using a mixer) add 1 cup of the flour and 1/4 cup of the oil infused garlic along with the yeast, sugar and water mixture to the bowl. Stir with a fork a few times until all of the flour has mixed in. Let it sit for 5 minutes. Then add the remaining flour (1 1/2 cups) and the salt to the bowl. Stir the mixture with a fork (or utensil of preference).
4. When the dough comes together transfer onto a floured surface and knead again until smooth. Alternatively, if using a stand mixer mix the mixture on setting 2 and when the dough forms increase the setting to 3 and knead until smooth. Transfer the dough to a large oiled bowl, cover with an oiled cling film and keep in warm place (for best results let the dough rise in warm area such as the oven).
5. Let it prove for 1 hour. After the hour preheat oven to 220 degrees. Oil a 9-inch by 13-inch baking tray, using some of the remaining garlic olive oil mixture. Transfer the dough to the baking tray and using your fingers press the dough down into the tray (covering the whole tray). Use fingers to create the dimples into the dough. Drizzle top of the dough with the remaining garlic olive oil mixture. Let the dough rest and rise again for 20-25 minutes.
6. Place the tray on the middle oven rack and bake the dough for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown. Transfer the baked focaccia bread immediately onto a wire rack to cool down completely.
7. Serve the bread with balsamic and extra virgin olive oil dip as a snack. Or turn it into a sandwich with any filling(s) preference.
