To prevent the toppings from falling off of the Foccacia as it cooks add them before the second rising.
8 ounces warm water (70-80 degrees)
3 Tablespoons olive oil, (for dough)
1 teaspoon salt
1 clove garlic, (up to 2) minced
1 1/2 teaspoons dried rosemary
3 cups bread flour
***Topping***
1 1/2 Tablespoons olive oil, (for topping)
1/2 cup sundried tomatoes, chopped
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
Measure all ingredients into the bread pan except the Topping ingredients.
Select Dough/Pasta setting on your bread machine.
When cycle is complete, remove from pan and pat into a greased 9X13 pan or a round pizza pan.
With the handle of a wooden spoon make indentations in dough about 1 inch apart. Brush dough with olive oil, sprinkle with tomatoes.
Cover and let rise for 30 minutes. Once second rising is complete sprinkle with cheese.
