Steps

  • 1
    In large bowl, stir yeast, sugar and 1/4 cup of the water until blended. Let stand 10 minutes or until yeast is dissolved and foamy. Add remaining 2/3 cup water, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 tablespoon oregano. Stir in 2 1/2 cups of the flour, slowly adding additional flour as necessary to make dough easy to handle.

    Place dough on lightly floured surface. Knead 10 minutes or until dough is smooth and springy. Grease large bowl with oil. Place dough in bowl, turning dough to grease all sides. Cover bowl loosely with plastic wrap sprayed with cooking spray; let rise in warm place 45 minutes to 1 hour or until doubled in size. Dough is ready if indentation remains when touched.

    Meanwhile, about 20 minutes before baking, place pizza stone or cookie sheet on oven rack. Heat oven to 425°F. Line cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper. Gently push fist into dough to deflate. On lightly oiled surface, pat dough to 14x9-inch oval. Place on paper-lined cookie sheet. Cover loosely with plastic wrap sprayed with cooking spray; let rise 20 minutes.

Slide dough and parchment paper from cookie sheet onto pizza stone.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Focaccia can be adapted in many ways. Scatter olives along with the tomatoes, substitute rosemary or basil for the oregano and use a variety of cheeses, including goat cheese or blue cheese.
