Tomato Herb Focaccia Recipe YUM!

Over the years, I have tried many new recipes.  Sometimes they are a huge fail and other times they turn out great!  Tonight’s attempt at a new recipe was delicious and fairly easy, so I wanted to share it with all of you.

Here is a slice of my finished product.  Yum, right?

Tomato-Herb Focaccia

1 pkg (1/4 oz) active dry yeast
1 cup warm water (110* to 115*)
2 Tbsp. olive oil, divided
1 1/2 Tsp. salt
1 Tsp. sugar
1 Tsp. garlic powder
1 Tsp. each of dried oregano, thyme, and rosemary, crushed
1/2 Tsp. dried basil
Dash pepper
2 to 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
2 plum tomatoes, thinly sliced (I used beef steak tomatoes)
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 Tbsp.  grated parmesan cheese

1.  In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water.  Add 1 Tbsp. oil, salt, sugar, garlic powder, herbs, pepper and 1 1/2 cups flour.  Beat until smooth.  Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky).

2.  Turn onto a floured surface, knead until smooth and elastic (about 6-8 minutes).  Place in greased bowl, turning once to grease the top.  Cover and let rise in a warm place, until doubled (about 1 hour)

3.  Punch dough down.  Cover and let rest for about 10 minutes.  Shape into a 13 x 9 inch rectangle and place on a greased baking sheet.  Cover and let rise until doubled (about 30 minutes).  With fingerprints, make several dimples over top of dough.

4.  Brush dough with remaining 1 Tbsp. of oil, arrange tomatoes on top.  Sprinkle the cheese.  Bake at 400* for 20-25 minutes.  Enjoy right out of the oven or at room temperature.

5.  Enjoy!
