Focaccia Bread
- 1 package active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 tablespoon natural granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 cup unbleached white flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic
- Coarse salt
- Dried oregano or rosemary
- Pour the yeast into the warm water and let stand to dissolve for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Stir in the sugar and 2 tablespoons of the oil.
- Combine the flours and salt in a large mixing bowl.
- Work the yeast mixture in using your hands, then turn out onto a well-floured board.
- Knead for 5 minutes, adding additional flour if the dough is too sticky.
- Shape into a round and roll out into a circle with a 12-inch diameter.
- Place on an oiled and floured baking sheet, cover with a tea towel, and let rise in a warm place for 30 to 40 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- When the dough has finished rising, poke shallow holes into its surface with your fingers, at even intervals.
- Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the top evenly, followed by the garlic, coarse salt, and herb.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the bread is golden on top and sounds hollow when tapped.
- Serve warm, cut into wedges, or just have everyone break off pieces.
