Vegetable Focaccia

By: Michele Fairchok

"'This popular recipe began as herb focaccia but gradually came to include our favorite vegetables,' writes Michele Fairchok of Throop, Pennsylvania. 'There's no cheese because my husband can't have dairy products. But some people who try it think it has cheese anyway!'"

Original Recipe Yield 12 servings

Ingredients

2 cups bread flour
1 (.25 ounce) package quick-rise yeast
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup warm water (120 to 130 degrees F)
1 tablespoon olive or canola oil
TOPPING:
3 plum tomatoes, chopped
5 medium fresh mushrooms, sliced
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
1/2 cup sliced ripe olives
1/4 cup chopped onion
3 tablespoons olive or canola oil
2 teaspoons red wine vinegar or cider vinegar
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 teaspoons cornmeal

Directions

In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups flour, yeast and salt. Add water and oil; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 4 minutes. Cover and let rest for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine the tomatoes, mushrooms, green pepper, olives, onion, oil, vinegar and seasonings.
Coat a 15-in. x 10-in.x 1-in. baking pan with nonstick cooking spray; sprinkle with cornmeal. Press dough into pan. Prick dough generously with a fork. Bake at 475 degrees F for 5 minutes or until lightly browned. Cover with vegetable mixture. Bake 8-10 minutes longer or until edges of crust are golden.
