- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. 
- In a separate bowl, mix the dried yeast with the warm water and let it sit for a few minutes until it becomes frothy. 
- Make a well in the flour mixture and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil. 
- Stir until a dough forms, then knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. 
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it proof in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size. 
- Preheat your oven to 220°C (200°C fan/ Gas Mark 7). 
- Punch down the risen dough, then roll it out to fit a baking tray lined with parchment paper. 
- Use your fingers to create dimples in the dough. 
- Mix the minced garlic and chopped rosemary with a couple of tablespoons of olive oil, then drizzle this mixture evenly over the dough, making sure to get it into the dimples. 
- Sprinkle the top with sea salt flakes. 
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the focaccia is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom. 
- Drizzle with extra olive oil while still warm. 
- Allow it to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
