Vegetable Garden - Focaccia Bread

Ingredients

Dough

• 2 cups (454g) lukewarm water
• 1 tablespoon (14g) sugar
• 1 tablespoon instant yeast
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 2 tablespoons (25g) olive oil
• 1/2 cup (82g) semolina flour
• 4 1/2 to 5 cups (539g to 602g) All-Purpose Flour
• 2 to 3 tablespoons Herbs de Provence
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons (25g) garlic oil or olive oil, for the pan

Topping

• 2 tablespoon Herbs de Provence
• 2 tablespoon Everything Bagel
• 2 tablespoon Olive Oil

Instructions

1. Combine the water, sugar, yeast, salt, and olive oil.
2. Stir in the semolina, all-purpose flour, herbs, and black pepper. Knead the dough by hand, mixer, or in a bread machine set on the dough cycle until it's smooth.
3. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover it with plastic wrap, and let it rise for 90 minutes in a warm place. The dough should double in size.
4. Gently deflate the dough and turn it onto a lightly floured counter.
5. Line a baking tray with parchment paper then drizzle 1 tablespoon garlic oil or olive oil into the baking sheet, brushing it across the tray.
6. Gently shape the dough into a rectangular share to fit the baking tray. Cover the tray, and let the dough rise for 30 minutes in a warm place, until puffy.
7. While the dough is rising, preheat your oven to 425°F.
8. Mix the topping ingredients - Herbs de Provence, Everything Bagel & Olive Oil. Brush the dough thoroughly.
9. Décor the dough with your favorite vegetables to create a garden-like look.
10. Bake the focaccia in the middle of the oven for about 30 minutes, or until it's lightly browned and baked through.
11. Remove the focaccia from the oven, and turn it out of the pans onto a rack to cool just slightly before serving. Serve with warmed marinara sauce as a dip, or just as is with soup or salad
