Focaccia!
- 1-1/2 cup Warm Water
- 3 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1-1/4 teaspoon Sea Salt
- 3-1/2 cups All Purpose Wheat Flour
- 1 Tablespoon Instant Yeast
- 1/4 cups Sliced Black Olives
- 1 teaspoon Herbes De Provence Or Dried Herbs Of Your Choice
- 1/4 cups Shredded Italian Cheese Medley. Parmesan, Asiago, Mozzarella
- Additional Extra Virgin Olive Oil, For Greasing The Pan And For Brushing The Bread
- Use a small amount of olive oil to grease the inside of a round 9-inch pan.
- Combine the first five ingredients in a large bowl. Beat at high speed for about one minute, with a stand mixer or electric mixer.
- Scoop the sticky batter into the prepared pan, cover with a kitchen towel and let it rise for one hour at room temperature. It will become puffy!
- While the dough is rising, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- When the dough is finished rising, lightly poke the top of the dough all over. Using a pastry brush, brush the top of the dough with olive oil, gently push in the sliced olives, sprinkle with herbs and shredded cheese.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until the loaf is golden brown. During this time, your house will smell like Italy. No joke!
- Remove from the oven and allow it to cool for five minutes before you remove from the baking pan. Cool on a wire rack.
- I recommend serving this warm!
