ingredients
- 3⁄4 cup water
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 large egg whites
- 1⁄4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest, finely minced
- 4 tablespoons nonfat dry milk powder
- 1⁄2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1⁄2 cup cornmeal
- 2 cups unbleached white flour
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme, minced
- 2 teaspoons yeast, for baked in bread machine or 1 tablespoon yeast, for hand-finished focaccia bread
- 1⁄3 cup honey, for focaccia, omit if finished in machine
- 1⁄3 cup honey, for dipping
directions
- With all ingredients at room temperature, place in bread machine except the 1/3 cup honey. Program for Dough and start. After the final cycle, remove the dough to a lightly floured work surface.
- Use your hands to pat the dough into a 10-inch disk and place it on an oiled pizza pan or baking sheet. Allow the dough to rise 30 minutes and then use your finger to gently poke a dozen slight indentations around the top of it.
- Preheat the oven to 400F with the rack in the center position. Bake the focaccia for 12 minutes at 400F, then lower the temperature to 375°F Remove the focaccia and quickly drizzle the honey over the top:it should collect in the holes as well as drip over the entire surface. Continue baking an additional 12 - 14 minutes. If the top is getting too brown, cover it with a tent of foil (so as not to disturb the honey). Cut the focaccia into wedges and serve hot, warm, or at room temperature with a dish of additional honey for dipping.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am a native Californian, born in the Los
Angeles area, college in far northern California and now living in southern part of the San Francisco Bay Area.
I love kids and animals. I am an active volunteer at my two teenage daughters' high school as well as a Girl Scout leader. We have two guinea pigs, one Dalmatian, one cockatiel, and one quarter-horse to keep us busy. I had a career as a marketing writer before I became a full-time mom and volunteer, but I still write all the time as well as participate in a monthly book club.
I stay active and have Jazzercized for over 25 years on a regular basis. I also am trying to do some yoga now and ride horses for fun.
I have loved getting involved in the RecipeZaar games and learning how to post the photos. I am currently playing on the Zaar World Tour and it is lots of fun!
Have been a sports fan since childhood and definitely have enjoyed getting to know about hockey since we have a very successful NHL franchise in our area: Go Sharks!
