DELICIOUSLY EASY GARLIC HERB FOCACCIA
Make focaccia in an hour. Or a little longer if your bread machine doesn't have a pizza cycle. Also great as a pizza dough! I personally use 2 cups unbleached bread flour and 1 cup whole wheat flour. As with most recipes I have created - they are a base on which to build.

Steps:
- Place 1 cup plus 3 tablespoons water, 1 tablespoon olive oil, bread flour, white sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, and active dry yeast, respectively, in the pan of a bread machine. Select pizza cycle; press Start.
- Combine crushed garlic and 1/3 cup olive oil in a small bowl. Set aside to let it steep, about 30 minutes.
- Combine Parmesan cheese, parsley, onion powder, and herbes de Provence in another small bowl.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a large rimmed baking sheet with olive oil.
- Deflate dough and turn out into the baking sheet. Stretch dough gently out to 1/2-inch thickness, using your fingers to make dimples that will hold the toppings.
- Pour garlic and oil mixture onto dough and spread it evenly over the dough and edges with your hands. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese mixture evenly on top. Sprinkle dough with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and transfer from the baking sheet to a rack. Let cool, 5 minutes. Cut into squares with a pizza cutter.

Tips:
- Use a digital kitchen scale to measure your ingredients for the most accurate results.
- Make sure your yeast is active and fresh. If you're not sure, you can test it by dissolving it in a little warm water with a pinch of sugar. If it bubbles up after a few minutes, it's good to go.
- Don't overwork the dough. The more you knead it, the tougher the bread will be.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will take about 1 hour.
- When you're ready to bake the bread, preheat your oven to the highest temperature it can go. This will help create a crispy crust.
- Bake the bread for about 25 minutes, or until it is golden brown and sounds hollow when you tap on it.
- Let the bread cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
