Add warm water (*about 110°F, which you'll be able to degree with a thermometer should you desire to be certain it’s the proper temp) and sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer with the dough attachment, and stir to combine. Sprinkle the yeast on higher of the water. Give the yeast a speedy stir to blend it in with the water. Then permit it sit for 5-10 minute till the yeast is foamy.
Turn the mixer onto low speed, and upload step by step flour, olive oil and salt. Increase velocity to medium-low, and keep blending the dough for 5 minutes. (If the dough is simply too sticky and isn’t pulling clear of the aspects of the bowl, upload in an additional 1/4 cup flour whereas or not it's mixing.)
Remove dough from the blending bowl, and use your arms to form it suitable into a ball. Grease the blending bowl (or a separate bowl) with olive oil or cooking spray, then position the dough ball again within the bowl and disguise it with a humid towel. Place in a warm region (I set mine by the window) and permit it rise for 45-60 minutes, or till the dough has virtually doubled in size.
Preheat oven to 400°F. Turn the dough onto a floured surface, and roll it out suitable into a enormous circle or rectangle till that the dough is ready 1/2-inch thick*. Cover the dough with a greased piece of plastic wrap, and permit the dough keep to rise for one other 20 minutes.

Bake for 20 minutes, or till the dough is fairly golden and cooked through. Remove from the oven, and drizzle with a bit additional olive oil if desired.
Slice, and serve warm.
*Different folks have other choices on the thickness in their focaccia. I err on liking a thicker bread, so should you desire yours thinner, simply roll it out a bit more. It will get up somewhat whereas baking.
A few years ago, our Kansas City tribe misplaced certainly one of our finest — our Cammie — to the Wild Wild West (of Denver, obvs ?) the position she went to pass dwell collectively with her love. It was a wild and marvelous move, and we’re all grateful that it labored out for the best, but we nonetheless miss her round proper proper here like crazy.
BUT. I’ve gotta say that — additional than anybody else I understand — Cammie additional than makes up for her absence by being the freaking finest organizer of our antique chums every one time she makes a traditional go to to town.
