Instructions

1. 1

   Add sugar and yeast to warm water (approximately 120 - 130°F). Stir and let bloom for 3 - 5 minutes until the top is foamy.

2. 2

   In a mixing bowl, combine 3 tablespoons olive oil, LillyBean Focaccia Bread & Pizza Crust Mix, and the water/yeast mixture. Stir well to combine. Note that the dough will be more like a batter - no kneading required!

3. 3

   Drizzle 3 tablespoons olive oil into a 9" x 13" pan. Pour batter into pan and spread to the edges with a spatula.

4. 4

   Drizzle the top of the dough with the remaining 1.5 tablespoons olive oil.

5. 5

   Cover the pan and set in a warm place to rise for 30 minutes.

6. 6

   Coat fingertips with olive oil and gently poke the dough to form the characteristic dimples of focaccia. Top with dried herbs such as rosemary, thyme, or oregano, and salt.

7. 7

   Bake in a 400°F preheated oven for 25 - 30 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool completely before slicing.
