Ingredients

• 1 cup Water
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 3 cups Bread flour
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried basil
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried rosemary
• 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Add the water, olive oil, salt, and honey into the bread machine pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer.

Step 2

Layer the bread flour over the wet ingredients, ensuring the liquids are fully covered.

Step 3

Make a small well in the center of the flour and add the active dry yeast.

Step 4

Sprinkle the garlic powder, dried basil, dried oregano, dried rosemary, black pepper, and Parmesan cheese (if using) evenly over the top of the flour.

Step 5

Set the bread machine to the 'Dough' cycle and start it. Allow the machine to mix, knead, and rise the dough according to the cycle's time settings.

Step 6

Once the dough cycle is complete, remove the dough from the machine and transfer it to a lightly oiled 9x13-inch baking pan.

Step 7

Press and stretch the dough gently to fit the pan. Create dimples across the surface of the dough using your fingers.

Step 8

Cover the pan loosely with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and allow the dough to rise in a warm place for 30-40 minutes or until it doubles in size.

Step 9

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Optional: Drizzle the top of the dough with more olive oil and sprinkle additional dried herbs for flavor before baking.

Step 10

Bake the focaccia in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.

Step 11

Remove the focaccia from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing. Enjoy as is, or use it as the base for delicious Italian-inspired paninis!
