Simple Focaccia


Ingredients:
1 teaspoon sugar
1 package active dry yeast
1/3 cup warm water 
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions:
In a small bowl, dissolve sugar and yeast in warm water. 
Let stand 10 minutes.

In a large bowl, combine the yeast mixture with flour; stir to combine. 
Stir in additional water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until all of the flour is absorbed. 
When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 1 minute.

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 until doubled, about 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 475 F. 

Deflate the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface; knead briefly. 
Pat or roll the dough into a sheet and place on a lightly greased baking sheet. 
Brush the dough with oil and sprinkle with salt.
Dimple the bread by poking the surface.
Bake for 10-15 minutes.
