Tomato Herb Focaccia

This was so good. We ate it all the first night I made it and wanted more. If you are a bread family, double this and enjoy.

1 pkg yeast
1 cup warm water
2 Tbsb Olive Oil, divided
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. each oregano, thyme, and Rosemary crushed.
1/2 tsp. dried basil
dash pepper
2 to 2 1/2 c. mozzarella cheese
1 Tbsp. Parmesans cheese.

Dissolve yeast, water, 1 part 0il salt and sugar. Let sit 5 mins. Add seasoning and 1 1/2 c. flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Knead on floured surface for 6-8 mins. Return to bowl, cover and let rise till doubled in size, about 1 hour. Punch down, cover and let rest 10 mins. Shape into a 9 x 13 pan. Cover and let rise 30 mins. With finger tips make several dimples.

Brush with remaining oil. Arrange tomatoes over bread. Cover with cheese. I used more Parmesan as I love it. Bake at 400 degrees for 20-25 mins or until golden brown.
