Ingredients
Directions
Dissolve yeast in water. Add sugar, olive oil, salad oil, and salt. Mix in 3 cups flour and whip using flat paddle attachment or wooden spoon until dough begins to leave sides of bowl.
Start adding remaining flour by hand or with dough hook of mixer, and knead until dough is smooth. Allow dough to rise twice, punching down in between. This will make 2 large 13″x18″ sheets of focaccia.
For focaccia, mix 1/4 cup olive oil with three cloves of crushed garlic. Spread dough in jelly roll pans (large cookie sheets with shallow sides) with fingers. Allow to rise 30 minutes. With finger tips, lightly dimple dough all over. Brush with garlic oil and top with kosher salt and crushed rosemary. Bake at 375 °F for 30 minutes.
For pizza, spread dough thinly in pan or work dough on flour covered board. It helps to work on the back of a pan so you can slide it onto the pizza stone. Top as desired and bake in preheated 450-475F oven until the dough is browned and the toppings are bubbling.
Notes
When you are ready to use the dough, remove it from the fridge, allow it to come to room temperature for 30-60 minutes, and shape and bake as usual.
