directions
- Dough: Put the 1 1/2 cup water in the bread machine.
- Add the other ingredients in this order: sugar, salt, oil, flour, yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano and black pepper.
- Place bread machine on dough setting and start.
- Note the amount of time your bread machine will take and set another timer for this amount (or do it manually, I use the timer on my microwave for for this).
- As soon as the dough forms a ball (several minutes) add the 3 tbsp lukewarm water.
- This amount of flour is more than most bread machines can handle, so check every 10 minutes when it is not actively mixing.
- If it's getting too high, just stop the dough cycle and restart it (this is why the other timer is needed).
- At the end of the time (on my machine it is 130 minutes) turn off the bread machine and remove the dough.
- Grease a large pizza pan (or a large rectangular cookie sheet with sides, or 2 small pizza pans) and turn the dough out on it (I usually put a bit of oil or cooking spray on my hands so It doesn't stick to me).
- Spread the dough evenly on the pan, making it higher on the edges of the pan for a crust.
- Cover with plastic wrap and let rise until double.
- About 15-20 minutes.
- Toppings: Brush the dough with olive oil and sprinkle with oregano and garlic powder.
- Add as many optional toppings as you wish (invent some if you wish).
- Sprinkle with parmesan.
- Bake until golden about 15-20 minutes at 350°F.

Since I don't have a bread machine, I made it by hand. I used only 3 1/2 cup of flour. The dough is a dream to work with. I forgot the 3 Tablespoons water step but it still came out great . The bread came out nice and soft. My crust didn't come out crispy but soft also. For topping, I brushed mine with olive oil, sprinkle on 1 teaspoon of Kosher salt, and added some crushed oregano. So tasty. Thank you for a great recipe.

Excellent Focaccia Bread. I followed the recipe to a T and it came out perfect. Dough was easy to work with. My house smelled so good while this was cooking. My topping was a simple just Kosher Salt and Parmesan Cheese. Made to go with recipe #339948 Thanks Pixie. :)
