2 c. Whole Wheat
Bread Flour
4 c. White Flour
2 tsp. Salt
2 c. Water (warm)
1 Tbsp. Yeast
3 tsp. Rosemary
1/2 c. Oil
1/4 c. Tomatoes
(dried, chopped in small pieces)
1/4 c. Olives
(chopped small)
Mix yeast, water
and about 2 tsp. of sugar together. Let yeast rise while mixing
other
ingredients. Mix the tomatoes, oil, and rosemary together. Mix
the flour,
salt and olives
together. Add all the ingredients in a bowl. Mix until it forms a
firm dough.
Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead
thoroughly for
5 minutes. (May need to add more flour to the dough if it sticks a
lot to your
fingers.) Return the dough to the mixing bowl and cover with a towel.
Let the dough
rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. Meanwhile, lightly
grease a
baking sheet with oil and preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
Turn out
the risen dough,
punch down and knead again. Divid into two or four
(depending on
how big you want your loaves). Place on the baking sheet. Bake
the focaccia
for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and cooked. Slide off onto
wire racks
to cool. Eat slightly warm.
