    Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
    1           teaspoon  white sugar
       1/4      teaspoon  active dry yeast -- (1 pkg)
       1/3           cup  warm water -- (110F/45C)
    2               cups  all-purpose flour
    2        tablespoons  olive oil
       1/4      teaspoon  salt

In a small bowl, dissolve sugar and yeast in warm water. Let stand 
until creamy, about 10 minutes.

In a large bowl, combine the yeast mixture with flour; stir well to 
combine. Stir in additional water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until all 
of the flour is absorbed. When the dough has pulled together, turn it 
out onto a lightly floured surface and knead briefly for about 1 
minute. 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 until doubled in volume, about 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 475F (245C).

Deflate the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface; 
knead briefly. Pat or roll the dough into a sheet and place on a 
lightly greased baking sheet. Brush the dough with oil and sprinkle with salt.

Bake focaccia in preheated oven for 10 to 20 minutes, depending on 
desired crispness. If you like it moist and fluffy, then you'll have 
to wait just about 10 minutes. If you like it crunchier and darker in 
the outside, you may have to wait 20 minutes.

Description:
    ""Extremely easy, fast and cheap. Great for sandwiches and 
snacks. You may use more or less olive oil or salt if you wish.""

    Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
       1/2      teaspoon  honey
       1/4         ounce  active dry yeast -- (1 pkg)
       2/3           cup  warm water -- (110F/45C)
    2               cups  all-purpose flour
       1/2      teaspoon  salt
    4        tablespoons  olive oil -- divided

In a large bowl, dissolve honey and yeast in warm water. Let stand 
until creamy, about 10 minutes.

Add 1 cup flour, salt, and 3 tablespoons olive oil to the yeast 
mixture. Stir until combined and then work in the last cup of flour. 
Knead the dough until smooth, elastic, and soft, about 7 minutes. Add 
only enough flour to keep the dough from being sticky. 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 until doubled in 
volume, about 1 hour.

Deflate the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. 
Roll out the dough into a rectangle, about 1/2" thick. Place in 
greased 9x13" pan or baking sheet. Cover and let rise until doubled 
in volume, about 40 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400F (200C).

Poke dimples in the bread and drizzle 1 tablespoon of the olive oil 
on top. Bake at 400F for 15 minutes.
