Italian Focaccia

I love bread.

It's a weakness.



I inherited it.

Must be genetic.



Thus, I made this yummy bread to share with the ones who gave me my genes.

They liked it too.

Combine yeast and water. Allow mixture to sit for 2-3 minutes. Then add in olive oil, sugar salt.

 Knead the dough until well combined.



Cover and let the dough rise for 1 hour.  You can make the dough up to 24 hours in advance - cover with plastic wrap and store in the fridge until ready to use.

Preheat the oven to 425.  Press the dough into a 12-inch circle.

Drizzle with olive oil and then press indentations into the dough.

Bake for 15-20 minutes until dough is puffed and golden brown.



Cut into wedges and serve.



Yum-o.

The leftovers were great sandwich bread too!
