A delicious flat bread, studded with olives, dried tomatoes and herbs.
Follow the directions for making a single loaf in the stand mixer, to the point where the dough is ready to form.
At this point, you can incorporate the olives and sun dried tomatoes into the dough.
Prepare a cookie sheet, lined with parchment paper.
Spread the dough onto the sheet in an oval shape and drizzle the olive oil onto the surface.
Sprinkle the herbs onto this and make 8 cm, diagonal slices, cutting all the way through the dough (see our foccacia instructional video).
Place in a warm, location (an oven with the light on is ideal) and let rise for 20-30 minutes, or until small holes begin to appear on the surface.
Preheat the oven to 400 F and place the pan on a middle rack for 20 minutes, or until the surface is golden-brown and to your taste.
