Focaccia

Focaccia
2 1/4 tsp dry active yeast
1 tsp sugar
1/4 cup warm water
2 cups flour
1 tsp salt

olive oil
salt
pepper
onion powder
rosemary (about 2 1/2 tbsp)
garlic (4-5 cloves)

20 minutes @ 425

1. Add yeast sugar and water together in small bowl. Wait about 10 minutes for the yeast to activate.
 2. Once yeast is activated put it in a large bowl with the flour and salt. Mix around, gradually adding a little bit more water at a time until the dough is coming together. Knead the dough for 2 minutes on a lightly floured surface.
3. Coat a large bowl with olive oil and put the dough in the bowl. Cover the bowl with a damp towel and let sit for 45 minutes.
 4. When the dough has finished  rising, punch and knead it on the counter a bit more.
5. Spread out the dough on a slightly oiled pan. Make dimples in it with your fingers.
 6. Coat lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with onion powder, salt, pepper, finely chopped garlic and coarsely chopped rosemary.
 7. Bake for 20 minutes at 425.
