Place water, 2 tablespoons olive oil, garlic, bread flour, 1 tablespoon rosemary, salt, and yeast into a bread machine in the order listed, or follow the order recommended by the manufacturer if different.
1 ¼ cups lukewarm water, 4 tablespoons olive oil, 3 cloves garlic, 3 cups bread flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 ½ teaspoons bread machine yeast
Run dough cycle. Remove dough from the machine after the cycle is done, about 90 minutes.
Lightly drizzle olive oil into a 9x13-inch baking pan.
Pat dough into prepared pan in an even layer.
Use your fingers to dimple the dough every inch or so.
Brush with remaining 2 tablespoons oil and sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon rosemary. Sprinkle with additional sea salt.
Cover with plastic wrap and let rest while the oven preheats, about 15 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Remove plastic wrap and bake focaccia in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 20-25 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving

Bread flour: I've also made this recipe with all-purpose flour. It works fine; it just isn't as chewy when made with all-purpose flour as it is with bread flour.
Rosemary: You can use dried rosemary if you prefer. You'll only need 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary for every tablespoon of fresh rosemary.
Salt: Use half the amount of table salt if you don't have sea salt or kosher salt.
