Tomato-Herb Focaccia

Tomato-Herb Focaccia

This is a recipe I got from Taste Of Home magazine.  I like to switch it up, and change toppings, so never get tired of it.  What a wonderful treat!

12 ServingsPrep: 30 min. + rising Bake: 20 min.

Ingredients

• 1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast

Directions

• In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add 1 tablespoon oil,
• salt, sugar, garlic powder, herbs, pepper and 1-1/2 cups flour. Beat

• top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
