Bread - Focaccia

Now that you've tried your hand at simple bread making, it's time to step up and make some WOW bread. And nothing achieves that goal better than a focaccia. Italian-style bread, it's versatile, fun and easy to make and looks amazing!
Allow your yeast to prove for 20 minutes in a bowl with warm water and two teaspoons of sugar. Meanwhile, add equal parts of flour and semolina (a course flour) into a bowl with some salt and olive oil. To make a big focaccia, I use 400g of flour and 400g of semolina. Add the yeast mixture, mix, and keep adding small amounts of warm water until you achieve a homogeneous dough that is slightly sticky.
place this dough into a bowl and allow to proof for an hour. Remove from bowl and place in the baking dish you intend to use (a large, flat, roasting dish works perfectly). Use your fingers and press the dough into the dish. Now take a few cloves of garlic, course salt, rosemary and olive oil and crush. Pour the oil over the dough with whatever bits and pieces of garlic and rosemary that may fall in. I also like to add halved cherry tomatoes. Now leave the bread to proof for another hour - the oil will be absorbed into the wells created by the finger holes you made. Bake in a medium oven until dry inside.
