Ingredients

1/2 teaspoon honey

1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast

2/3 warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

4 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

In large bowl dissolve honey and yeast in warm water.

Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.

Add 1 cup flour, salt and 3 tablespoons olive oil to the yeast mixture.

Stir until combined and then work in the last cup of flour.

Knead dough until smooth, elastic and soft, about 7 minutes.

Add only enough flour to keep dough from being sticky.

Form into a ball shape.

Lightly oil a large bowl, place dough in bowl and turn to coat with oil.

Cover with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.

Punch dough down and turn onto lightly floured surface.

Roll OR pat to a 1/2" thickness.

Place in a greased 9x13" pan, baking sheet or pizza stone.

Cover and let rise until doubled in volume, about 40 minutes.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F/200 degrees C.

Poke dimples in the dough and drizzle I tablespoon olive oil on top.

Bake for 15 minutes.

Grazie to your Nonna Lorraine - I love Italian food, where my father is born Sibenik, Dalmatia,Croatia our dialect and food is very similar to Italians, because there was a time that Dalmatia was under the Italians. That's why I make the best pasta out of my friends and they all ask for my pasta LOL ~ 5

Thanks a pretty cool story, Maryanne! We NEVER tell anyone how easy (mostly)Italian cooking is though, do we? All that glory for such, for the most part, so little effort. Maybe you should write an Italian cookbook.. I'd buy it! Thanks for your five!

Hi, I had to come by to tell you that I made the Focaccia Bread and we love it! I found it so easy to work with. I love that you can top with so many different things. I will try the black olives, next time. This sure deserves more than a 5 rating.

This is a very breadlike focaccia. It is a very plain bread, as advertised. Jazz it up plenty to get some flavor going.
