Focaccia
Ingredients
1 teaspoon white sugar
1 (.25 ounce) package active dry
yeast
⅓ cup warm water (110 degrees F/45
degrees C)
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
Directions
In a small bowl, dissolve sugar
and yeast in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes. In a large
bowl, combine the yeast mixture with flour; stir well to combine. Stir in
additional water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until all of the flour is absorbed.
When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface
and knead briefly for about 1 minute. Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough
in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in
a warm place until doubled in volume, about 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 475
degrees F (245 degrees C). Deflate the dough and turn it out onto a lightly
floured surface; knead briefly. Pat or roll the dough into a sheet and place on
a lightly greased baking sheet. Brush the dough with oil and sprinkle with
salt.Bake focaccia in preheated oven for 10 to 20 minutes, depending on desired
crispness. If you like it moist and fluffy, then you'll have to wait just about
10 minutes. If you like it crunchier and darker in the outside, you may have to
wait 20 minutes.
