Time 1h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon white sugar
1 tablespoon active dry yeast
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon dried basil
1 pinch ground black pepper
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 cup water
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup mozzarella

Steps:

In a large bowl, stir together the flour, salt, sugar, yeast, garlic powder, oregano, thyme, basil and black pepper. Mix in the vegetable oil and water.
When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead until smooth and elastic. 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 for 20 minutes.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Punch dough down; place on greased baking sheet. Pat into a 1/2 inch thick rectangle. Brush top with olive oil. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and mozzarella cheese.
Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve warm.

Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly impact the taste of your focaccia bread. Use fresh, active yeast, and high-quality olive oil.
Proof the dough properly: Proofing the dough allows the yeast to grow and develop, which will give your bread a light and airy texture. Proof the dough in a warm place for about an hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Knead the dough well: Kneading the dough develops the gluten, which will give your bread a chewy texture. Knead the dough for at least 10 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
Bake the bread at a high temperature: Baking the bread at a high temperature will create a crispy crust and a soft and fluffy interior. Bake the bread at 450°F for about 30 minutes, or until it is golden brown.
Let the bread cool before slicing: Letting the bread cool before slicing will help to prevent it from crumbling. Let the bread cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
