A Loaf of Focaccia Everyday

I found this great recipe on allrecipes.com for focaccia bread, modified it a bit to satisfy my lazy nature, and now make about a loaf a day. This is tonight's loaf that will be used for turkey sandwiches for lunch tomorrow. It is topped with Green Goddess seasoning from Penzeys and asiago cheese.

Focaccia Bread

1 1/3 cups lukewarm water
4 1/2 tsp yeast or 2 pkgs of yeast
1 tbsp sugar
2 tsp salt
3-4 cups flour

Dissolve yeast in water until foamy. Add sugar and salt. Gradually add the flour until the dough has reached an almost not sticky consistency. Place a damp towel over the bowl and place in a warm location for about an hour. It should be about double in size.

Spray a cookie sheet with non-stick spray. Put the dough directly on the cookie sheet and put about 1 tbsp olive oil (or oil or your choice) on top and use the oil to help spread the dough until it is about 1 inch thick. Sprinkle with topping of choice (topping options listed below).

Let rise until double, and then place in a cold oven (do not preheat) and bake at 375 degrees for about 15 to 20 minutes or until the bottom is golden and the top is starting to turn golden.

Topping options that we have tried:

Olive oil and salt
Olive oil and asiago cheese
Olive oil, Green Goddess seasoning, asiago cheese (pictured above)
Olive oil, Mural of Flavor seasoning (also from Penzeys)
Canola oil, sugar, cinnamon (makes incredible pb&j sandwiches)

The best part about the recipe is that there isn't the floury mess left on your counter to clean up. Essentially the only clean up is the bowl, dough hook, measuring cups, and cookie sheet. See! Laziness in disguise.
