Easy & Fabulous Focaccia Bread

1 c. warm water

3 Tbl. softened butter

2 Tbl. dry milk powder

3 Tbl. sugar

1 1/2 tsp. salt

3 c. bread flour

2 1/4 tsp. instant yeast

Topping:

2 Tbl. olive oil

3 Tbl. grated Parmesan cheese

1 tsp. dried rosemary

1/2 tsp. garlic salt

Add the warm water, butter, dry milk powder, sugar, salt, flour and yeast to the bowl of your stand mixer. Mix until combined and knead for 5 minutes on low using the dough hook. Add more flour or water, if needed. Dough should remain in a ball as it kneads and should not stick to the side of the bowl. After dough is finished kneading, place it on a lightly floured surface and cover with saran wrap. Let the dough rest for 15 minutes. After dough has rested, knead by hand for one minute.

Press dough into a large, greased, jelly-roll pan, until dough is about 1/4''-1/2'' thick. It will not cover the entire surface of the pan. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Using your fingers, press dough in random spots to make indentations about 1-inch apart from each other. Brush dough with olive oil and sprinkle with Parmesan, rosemary and garlic salt. Bake in preheated oven for 13-15 minutes or until lightly browned. Allow to cool slightly, then cut into squares and serve.

Jenn's Notes: My dough was perfect with the measurements listed. I did not have to add any extra water or flour. I let my dough rise for about 50 minutes, because my house was cooler, so it took longer. I did not have garlic salt, so I used garlic powder and a little salt. I also added some Italian seasoning. This bread is fabulous.
