“You better cut the pizza in four pieces because I’m not hungry enough to eat six.”
Yogi Berra

"Believe it or not, American’s eat 75 acres of pizza a day."
Boyd Matson

"The dishes of the present day are very light, and they have a particular delicacy and perfume. The secret has been discovered of enabling us to eat more and to eat better, as also to digest more rapidly....The new cookery is conductive to health, to good temper, and to long life....Who could enumerate all the dishes of the new cuisine? It is an absolutely new idiom. I have tasted viands prepared in so many ways and fashioned with such art that I could not imagine what they were."
Louis Sebastien Mercier

Focaccia

 

Ingredients

4 cup unbleached flour
2/3 fresh cake yeast,
1 dissolved in 2/3 cup warm
1 water
10 tbsp olive oil
1/3 cup water
2 1/2 tsp salt



 

Preparation

Mix 2 cups flour with the dissolved yeast. Knead the dough for 10
minutes, either by hand or in the bowl of an electric mixture with a
dough hook. Shape the dough into a ball, and put in an oiled bowl to
rise until doubled in bulk, about 3 hours.

Punch down, put the dough on a floured board, and knead again,
incorporating the remaining flour, 1/3 cup olive oil, water, and salt.
Knead until dough is smooth and elastic. Let rise again in a covered
bowl for another 3 hours.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Divide the dough in half and roll out on a well-floured board to
circles or squares 1/2 inch thick. Brush with the remaining olive oil
and press the topping of your choice into the top of each circle.
Bake on a baking sheet until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Serve
warm or at room temperature, cut into wedges, squares, or triangles.

NOTE: Slashes may be made in a decorative or random pattern in the
breads before baking.

TOPPINGS: * Thinly sliced rounds of yellow onion * Paper-thin
crosswise slices of tomatoes and chunks of sun-dried
