Veggie-licious Focaccia:

Ingredients:
BREAD:
1 c lukewarm water
1-1/2 tbsp olive oil
4 tsp sugar
1-1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp salt
3-1/4 c flour
1-1/2 tsp active dry yeast
TOPPING:
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp dried basil
2 medium tomatoes, thinly sliced
1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
1 c fresh sliced mushrooms
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/2 c grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions:

1.  Place the first 8 ingredients in bread machine in order suggested by manufacturer.  Select the dough cycle.  Check dough after about 5 minutes to see if it needs an additional 1-2 tbsp of water or flour.

2.  When cycle is complete, turn dough onto a lightly floured surface.  Punch dough down.  Roll into a 13 x 9 inch rectangle and transfer to a greased 13 x 9 inch baking dish.

3.  Brush dough with olive oil and sprinkle with basil.  Layer the tomatoes, onion, and mushrooms on top of the dough.  Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and Parmesan cheese.  Cover and let rise in a warm place until double, about 30 minutes. 



4.  Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.  Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes or until golden brown and cheese is melted. 

***Don't like mushrooms?  You can easily add chopped broccoli, chopped spinach, sliced chicken breast, or crumbled bacon.  Be creative and use whatever you like!***
