Foccacia

This is the recipe from The Joy of Cooking, but I have it committed to memory:

Mix one package of bread yeast with 1 1/3 cups 100 degree water -- wait 5 minutes

add:

3 3/4 cups all purpose flour
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
3 tablespoons olive oil (if at any time you feel like adding more oil to this recipe, feel free.  I never measure).

Mix with (I use a wooden fork, but you can get out your dough hook if you are so inclined) for a minute or two until it balls up.

Knead (I use my hands) for 5-6 more minutes until it gets elastic and stretchy.

Split into two round cake pans (balls) with another 2-3 tablespoons olive oil.  Flip dough over a couple times to get oil all over the dough.

Cover with towels and let rise for at least 90 minutes.

Preheat oven to 400

When it is time to cook, dimple the dough with your fingers and hit it pretty good with olive oil again.  I like to add minced garlic and course salt as well.  I have had good results with a little parmesean or other hard cheese at this point to.

Bake 25-30 minutes.
