Focaccia Flat Bread

  1. Proof the yeast by mixing it with the warm water and sugar in a large bowl.. Wait for it to foam up and form bubbles on the surface of the water.
  2. Add the salt and olive oil, then mix the flour in while whisking thoroughly. Switch to a spoon as the dough thickens.
  3. Knead thoroughly on a lightly floured counter top or bread board until the dough is smooth and springy.
  4. Using your hands, press the dough out to 3/4" inch thickness on a lightly oiled baking sheet. It will not be absolutely smooth, but that is perfect! Press small dimples into the dough with your fingertips.
  5. Drizzle 2 Tablespoons of olive oil onto the top of the dough, then sprinkle the seasonings evenly across the top. Let rise for about an hour, then re-press several dimples again with your fingers. This "dimpling" process produces the wonderful texture focaccia is known for, with fluffy high spots alternating with thinner chewy spots.
  6. Pre-heat the oven to 450 degrees. Bake the focaccia for 10 minutes, then turn the temperature down to 400 degrees and bake another 10 minutes..
  7. Remove immediately from the baking sheet to cool on a towel.
