This delicious focaccia is topped with colorful bell peppers and juicy tomatoes, making it a perfect appetizer or side dish.

Ingredients

  • Sea salt (to taste)
  • Fresh rosemary (1 tablespoon, chopped)
  • Tomatoes (2, sliced)
  • Bell peppers (2, thinly sliced)
  • Olive oil (1/4 cup)
  • Warm water (1 1/4 cups)
  • Salt (1 teaspoon)
  • Sugar (1 teaspoon)
  • Active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
  • All (purpose flour - 3 cups)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt.
  2. Add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  5. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

  7. Arrange the sliced bell peppers and tomatoes on top of the dough. Sprinkle with chopped rosemary and sea salt.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the focaccia is golden brown and the vegetables are tender.
