How to Make Focaccia With Tomato Cheese

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup warm water, 2 teaspoons active dry yeast, and 1 teaspoon sugar. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  3. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 3 cups all-purpose flour to the yeast mixture. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
  4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
  5. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  6. Punch down the dough and transfer it to a lightly oiled 9x13 inch baking pan. Press the dough into the corners and gently stretch it to the edges.
  7. Drizzle 2 tablespoons olive oil over the dough. Using your fingers, create dimples all over the surface.
  8. Evenly distribute 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes and 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese over the dough.
  9. Drizzle with another 1 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle with dried oregano (1 teaspoon) and salt and pepper to taste.
  10. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  11. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
