    Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
    2 1/4      teaspoons  active dry yeast
    6        tablespoons  olive oil
    1           teaspoon  sugar -- plus 1 tablespoon
    2          teaspoons  sugar
    1 1/2           cups  durum flour
    2        tablespoons  patent durum flour -- or finely ground 
semolina flour* , about
    1 1/2           cups  all-purpose flour
       3/4           cup  golden raisins
    1         tablespoon  fennel seeds -- crushed

1. In cup, mix yeast, 3 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon sugar, and 
1 cup warm water (105 to 115F.); let stand until yeast mixture foams, 
about 5 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, in large bowl, combine salt, 1 1/2 cups patent durum or 
semolina flour, and 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour; stir to blend.

3. With wooden spoon, stir in yeast mixture and / focaccia warm water 
(105 to 115F.). With floured hand, knead to combine. Turn dough onto 
lightly  floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 
minutes, working in more flour (about 3 tablespoons) while kneading 
if necessary. Knead in raisins and fennel seeds.

4. Shape dough into a ball; place in greased large howl, turning 
dough over to grease top. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let dough 
rise in warm place (80 to 85F.) until doubled, about 40 minutes.

5. Grease 15 1/2" by 10 1/2" jelly-roll pan; sprinkle with remaining 
2 tablespoons patent durum or semolina flour. With floured rolling 
pin, roll dough evenly in jelly-roll pan; press dough into corners 
with fingers. Cover and let rise in warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes.

6. Preheat oven to 425F. With fingers, make deep indentations, about 
1" apart, over surface of dough. Drizzle focaccia with remaining 3 
tablespoons olive oil.

7. Bake focaccia 20 minutes or until golden. Remove focaccia from 
jelly-roll pan and place on wire rack to cool.
