Focaccia

 
I made this bread a few months back and it is delicious!!!
 


4 to 4 1/4 cup flour,

 divided


1 pkg fast-rising yeast

1 tbsp dried basil


1 tsp dried thyme


2 garlic cloves, pressed


1/2 tsp salt


1 1/2 cup warm water


1 tsp honey


2 tbsp olive oil, divided
 
Sift together 2 cups of flour, yeast, basil, thyme, garlic, and salt.  Combine the water and honey.  Blend into the yeast mixture.  Add enough remaining flour so that the dough is smooth and not sticky.  Knead on a lightly floured surface for 8 to 10 minutes.  Cover and let rise until double in bulk.  Spread one tablespoon of the oil on a baking sheet.  Transfer the dough to the baking sheet.  Pat into a 14 x 10 inch rectangle.  Brush the dough with the reamining olive oil.  Let rise 5 minutes then baking at 375 F for 30 minutes or until golden.
