FOCACCIA (USING BREAD MACHINE FOR THE DOUGH)
This bread is SO appealing and very versatile too! We often have it in the summertime quartered and sliced horizontally and filled with barbecued chicken thighs, lettuce, sliced red onions, tomatoes and avocado and some Paul Newman's Own Ranch Dressing! Simply divine!! The preparation time I have given does not include the time it takes for the Bread Machine to make the dough or the time it takes for the dough to rise.

Steps:
- Place all of the above ingredients, accurately measured and in the order I have listed them, in the Bread Machine.
- Select the 'dough' cycle.
- When the cycle is complete, take the dough out of the Bread Machine, and proceed with the following steps: On a lightly floured surface, gently knead the dough for about 10 minutes.
- (you may need to add extra flour during this time) Place the 'Focaccia' dough in a well grease bowl, cover and leave to rise in a warm (and draught free) place for about 1/2 an hour.
- Then, knead the dough lightly (in the bowl) for about 1 minute.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a rectangular shape (about 20 cm x 30 cm)
- Place on a well greased baking tray (or sponge roll tin) and leave to rise again, in a warm place, this time for about 1 hour (or until it has doubled in it's original size) Now pour and smooth over with your fingers, 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- 'Poke' the dough with 2 fingers at intervals over the surface, and sprinkle liberally with rock salt or equal measurements of olive oil and Basil pesto mixed together with grated Parmesan or Romano cheese, top with chopped up sun-dried tomatoes and sliced black olives!
- YUM!
- Bake at 225°C for about 15 minutes or until golden brown!

Steps:
- Dough: Put the 1 1/2 cup water in the bread machine.
- Add the other ingredients in this order: sugar, salt, oil, flour, yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano and black pepper.
- Place bread machine on dough setting and start.
- Note the amount of time your bread machine will take and set another timer for this amount (or do it manually, I use the timer on my microwave for for this).
- As soon as the dough forms a ball (several minutes) add the 3 tbsp lukewarm water.
- This amount of flour is more than most bread machines can handle, so check every 10 minutes when it is not actively mixing.
- If it's getting too high, just stop the dough cycle and restart it (this is why the other timer is needed).
- At the end of the time (on my machine it is 130 minutes) turn off the bread machine and remove the dough.
- Grease a large pizza pan (or a large rectangular cookie sheet with sides, or 2 small pizza pans) and turn the dough out on it (I usually put a bit of oil or cooking spray on my hands so It doesn't stick to me).
- Spread the dough evenly on the pan, making it higher on the edges of the pan for a crust.
- Cover with plastic wrap and let rise until double.
- About 15-20 minutes.
- Toppings: Brush the dough with olive oil and sprinkle with oregano and garlic powder.
- Add as many optional toppings as you wish (invent some if you wish).
- Sprinkle with parmesan.
- Bake until golden about 15-20 minutes at 350°F.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will have a big impact on the final product. Use fresh, flavorful ingredients to ensure your focaccia is delicious.
- Proof the dough properly: Proofing the dough allows the yeast to grow and develop, which will give your focaccia a light and airy texture. Be sure to proof the dough in a warm place for the recommended amount of time.
- Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make it tough. Be gentle when kneading the dough, and stop as soon as it comes together.
- Create a good dimple pattern: The dimple pattern on top of focaccia is not just for decoration; it also helps to create a crispy crust. Be sure to press your fingers firmly into the dough to create deep dimples.
- Bake the focaccia until it is golden brown: The focaccia is done baking when it is golden brown on top and sounds hollow when you tap on it. Be sure not to overbake the focaccia, or it will become dry.
