1 tablespoon salt
2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary

Instructions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the bread flour, all-purpose flour, yeast, warm water, olive oil, and salt. Mix well until a dough is formed.
2. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 10 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.

5. Place the dough on a large greased baking sheet and press it out into a rectangle about 1 inch thick.
6. Drizzle the dough with olive oil and sprinkle with the chopped rosemary and Parmesan cheese.
7. Using your fingers, press indentations into the dough, making sure not to press all the way through.
8. Sprinkle the sea salt flakes over the top of the bread.
9. Bake the focaccia for about 20-25 minutes, until it is golden brown on top and cooked through.
10. Let the focaccia cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
The Locatelli’s focaccia is best enjoyed fresh and warm, straight from the oven. It can be served alongside soups, salads, and pasta dishes, or simply as a snack or appetizer.
