FOCACCIA BREAD WITH SUN-DRIED TOMATOES1 1/4 cups water 3 Tbsp. olive oil 2 tsp. chopped garlic 1/3 cup corn meal 3 cups white flour 1 tsp. salt 2 tsp. yeast 1/2 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese Place all ingredients except tomatoes and cheese in machine; program for basic bread and press start. When the beeper sounds, or during the last 5 minutes of the final knead cycle, add tomatoes and cheese. If you wish to make it like the Italian focaccia: Sprinkle a cookie sheet with corn meal. After the tomatoes and cheese are added, remove dough from machine and shape on cookie sheet like a thick-crust pizza. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. When the oven is hot, brush bread with olive oil and sprinkle with coarse salt. Bake 15-20 minutes, until top is golden brown. Test center for doneness before removing from oven. Slice and serve hot or at room temperature. Source: Bread Machie Baking Perfect Every Time by Lora Brody
