Fragrant Foccacia

 

For the dough:

1 packet active dry yeast

2 teaspoons sugar

1 cup lukewarm water

3 cups white flour

4 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon salt

 

For the topping:

4 tablespoons melted butter or olive oil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried basil

1/2 teaspoon crushed black pepper

1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped

1 tablespoon sea salt, optional

 

Add yeast and sugar to six tablespoons of the warm water. Allow five to

10 minutes for yeast to activate (it will froth). Mix all dough

ingredients together in a bowl, then let sit for 20 minutes. Knead

dough, adding more flour as needed, and spread onto olive oil-greased,

shallow cake pan.

Let sit 15 minutes; dough will rise further. Punch several holes in top

with fork and spread on topping. Preheat oven and bake at 450 degrees

for 35 minutes. Turn off oven and let sit 10 minutes. Serve warm, with

sliced cheese, tomatoes, olives, or dipping sauces if desired.
