Ingredients
Dough: 7 cups, whole wheat flour 2 level tablespoons dry yeast 1 1/2 teaspoon salt 3 cups warm water (about) 1 tablespoon sucanat Toppings: whole rosemary marjoram thyme olive oil sesame seeds kosher salt or just about anything you like!
Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Pour flour in bowl and make well inside. put in bottom of well salt then sugar then yeast and slowly pour
half of the water. Mix slowly with large wood spoon and slowly add remaining water as needed. When dough has
formed a nice ball and does not stick to the sides dump out on counter. Knead dough about 5 minutes until it
is very smooth and elastic.

If you want a thick focaccia flatten dough out with hands and put on standard sized (12 x 16) flat oven
tray or cookie sheet that has been generously coated with olive oil. Flatten the dough a little more on tray
and cover with tea towel. Let rise about 40 minutes.

When risen gently punch and stretch dough with finger to fit sides of tray and to make the traditional "bumps".
paint top of focaccia with more olive oil and sprinkle on sesame seeds, sea salt (not to much) and dried herbs.

Put in warmed oven and bake about 20 minutes or until golden brown.

If you like a thinner foccacia then just divide the dough into half and bake on two separate trays.

In the standard tray, this makes (12) 4x4 pieces.
