How to prepare Focaccia


Dissolve the yeast in tepid water.  Add the sugar, olive oil,
salad oil, and table salt.  Mix in 3 cups of flour and whip until the
dough begins to leave the sides of the mixing bowl, about 10 minutes.
Mix in the remianing flour by hand or with a dough hook and knead
the dough until it is smooth.  Allow the dough to rise twice in the bowl,
and punch down after each rising.
Oil two baking sheet, each 11 x 17 inches, and divide the dough
between the two pans.  Using your fingers, press the dough out to the
edges of each pan.  Cover and allow to rise for about thirty minutes, and
brush with a mixture of the crushed garlic and oil reserved for topping.
Sprinkle with rosemary and kosher salt.
Bake at 375 for 30 minutes.
