Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 4 | Garlic cloves |
| 2 cups | Whole wheat flour |
| 1 cup | Bread flour |
| 1 1/2 tbsp | Powdered milk |
| 1 1/2 tsp | Sea salt |
| 1 1/2 cups | Water |

Instructions:
-
Prepare Ingredients: Crush two garlic cloves and place them in your bread machine pan. Add whole wheat flour, bread flour, powdered milk, sea salt, water, 3 tablespoons of olive oil, honey, and yeast according to your machine’s instructions. Some machines prefer liquid ingredients first, while others prefer dry ingredients first. Place the bread pan inside the machine and close the lid.
-
Add Herbs: Optionally, add some of the dried basil and fresh rosemary at this point. Program your bread maker for the whole wheat dough mode. Once the dough is ready, turn it onto a floured surface. It will be quite sticky, so avoid adding more flour. Divide the dough into two pieces, cover, and let it rest for at least 10 minutes.
-
Prepare Garlic Oil: Crush the remaining garlic clove and combine it with the remaining 1/4 cup of olive oil and the fresh rosemary in a small bowl. Add salt if desired.
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Oil two round cake pans.
-
Shape Dough: Place each portion of dough into the prepared cake pans. Using your fingertips, press the dough out evenly to fill the pans.
-
Brush with Garlic Oil: Brush the surface of the dough with the prepared garlic and rosemary oil, ensuring it’s evenly distributed.
-
Bake: Place the pans in the bottom third of the preheated oven and bake for 18-24 minutes or until the focaccia is golden brown.
-
Serve: Once baked, remove the focaccia from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Garlic Rosemary Focaccia warm with your favorite spreads or as a delightful accompaniment to soups and salads.
