Tomato Herb Focaccia

Focaccia is one of my favorite Italian Breads.  The Tomato Herb Focaccia was a winner from the moment it went on the table and it sure didn't last long.  I have served this Focaccia for an appetizer and a lunch with a great salad, it is a very versatile Focaccia, sure hope you enjoy it!

Ingredients
1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
1 cup warm water
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon each dried oregano, thyme and rosemary, crushed
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
pinch of pepper
2 to 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 large tomato, thinly sliced
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Directions
In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in the warm water.  Add 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, sugar garlic, dried herbs, pepper and 1 1/2 cups flour.  Beat until smooth.  Sitr in enough of the remaing flour to form a soft, sticky dough.   
Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth, about 6-8 minutes.  Place in a greased bowl.
Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees
Punch dough down.  Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.  Shape into a 13 in. X9-in. rectangle; place on parchment paper covered baking sheet.  Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.  Drizzle the remaining oil over the dough; use your fingertips to press dimples into the dough while speading the oil around.  Top with tomatoes and cheese
Bake in preheated oven for 20 -25 minutes or until golden brown.  Cool on a wire rack.

  4. Love focaccia, and this looks like a meal in and of itself. Wonder if you could play with incorporating whole wheat flour for part of the AP to boost the nutrition?
