How to Make Kittencal's Parmesan Focaccia

  1. In a large bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add oil, salt, and flour to the yeast mixture. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
  5. Punch down the dough and divide it in half. Shape each half into a 13x9 inch rectangle and place them on two separate parchment-lined baking sheets.
  6. Dimple the surface of each focaccia with your fingers, creating little wells.
  7. Drizzle generously with olive oil and sprinkle evenly with grated Parmesan cheese.
  8. Add your choice of toppings (roasted red peppers, caramelized onions, garlic, thyme, etc.).
  9. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  10. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 200°F (93°C).
  11. Let cool slightly on baking sheets before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
