How to make focaccia bread?
I want a recipe to make focaccia bread the artisan way. Preferrably something that doesn't have a lot of complicated ingredients. Does anyone have a good recipe? Or tips as to how to make it? I've heard it takes a while for it to ferment and stuff...
No it doesn't take time to ferment. Same process as any other regular bread in terms of rising time, etc. Here is a basic recipe and you can search the net for variations on it. The one tip I can give you is is throw a 1/2 to 1 cup of water in the bottom of the oven during the baking process. I have no idea why it makes the bread turn out better but it does (got this tip from my brother who makes wonderful focaccia and swears by this method).

DIRECTIONS
In a large bowl, stir together the flour, salt, sugar, yeast, garlic powder, oregano, thyme, basil and black pepper. Mix in the vegetable oil and water.
When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead until smooth and elastic. Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl, and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place for 20 minutes.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Punch dough down; place on greased baking sheet. Pat into a 1/2 inch thick rectangle. Brush top with olive oil. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and mozzarella cheese.
Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve warm.
