Focaccia with Kalamata Olives and Roasted Garlic

Easiest bread to make and so tasty!

1 T rapid yeast
2 t salt
1 T chopped fresh rosemary or other herbs
1/3 c olive oil
1 1/4 c warm water
3 cups AP flour

Mix all in bowl until doughy and slightly sticky. Cover bowl with towel and allow to rise until dough doubles in size (45 min). With oiled hands, plop dough on oiled baking sheet and shape into a 1/2" thick oval with your hands. Cover and allow dough to rest 30 min. Preheat the oven to 375 F. Make dimples in the dough with finger tips and sprinkle on your fave toppings: olives, rosemary, garlic, tomatoes, etc. Bake for 20-30 minutes. Yum!
