                                          Instructions
                                           

                                          • Preheat oven to bake:
                                            Conventional 400 °F.
                                            Convection 375 °F.
                                          • Whisk active dry yeast, honey, and 2 ¼ cups lukewarm water in a medium bowl and let sit 5 minutes (it should foam).
                                            For 25 servings, use 2 ¼ cups of lukewarm water.
                                            For 50 servings, use 1 qt ½ cup of lukewarm water.
                                          • Combine flours with salt, basil, oregano and thyme in a large mixing bowl. Add yeast mixture and mix with a rubber spatula until a shaggy dough forms and no dry streaks remain.
                                          • For 25 servings, pour 4 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil into a large mixing bowl. For 50 servings, use 8 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil. Reserve the remaining olive oil for step 6. Transfer dough mixture to large bowl and turn to coat in oil. Cover with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator until dough is doubled in size (it should look very bubbly and alive). Chill for at least 8 hours and up to 1 day. For a faster rise, let it rise at room temperature until doubled in size, which would be about 3-4 hours.
                                          • Generously spray a half sheet pan (18”x13”x1”) with butter flavor pan release spray.
                                            For 25 servings, use 1 half sheet pan.
                                            For 50 servings, use 2 half sheet pans.
                                          • Scrape dough from sides of bowl and transfer dough to prepared half-sheet pan. Pour remaining olive oil in sheet pan and turn dough to coat it in oil. Let rise, uncovered, in a dry, warm spot until doubled in size, at least 1½ hours and up to 4 hours.
                                          • To see if the dough is ready, poke it with your finger. It should spring back slowly, leaving a small visible indentation. If it springs back quickly, the dough isn’t ready. (If at this point the dough is ready to bake but you aren’t, you can chill it up to 1 hour.) Using gloves, lightly oil your fingers. Dimple focaccia all over with your fingers, creating deep depressions in the dough to the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle with granulated garlic and garnish with fresh rosemary leaves by placing leaves on bread dough.
                                          • Bake the focaccia about 20 minutes or until it is puffed and golden brown.
                                          • Remove from oven and cut each pan 5 x 5 (25 pieces per pan).
                                          • Serve 1 piece (2 ½” x 3 ½”).
