Ingredients
1 tbsp. honey
2 cups warm water
1 tbsp. active dry yeast
1 tbsp. salt
1 tbsp. olive oil, (plus more for greasing baking sheet)
5 cups all purpose flour
2 tbsp. olive oil
1 cup pizza sauce,
2 cups shredded cheese of your choice
Directions
In a small bowl, add warm water and honey and stir until honey dissolves. Pour honey mixture into the bowl of a stand mixer and sprinkle yeast on the top. Let stand for 5 minutes until the yeast begins to foam. Add in 1 tbsp. salt & 1 tbsp. olive oil. Using the paddle attachment, mix on low speed just until combined. Add in flour a little at a time, until the dough begins to come together. Switch to the dough hook attachment and knead on medium high speed until smooth and elastic and the dough clears the sides of the bowl, but sticks to the bottom.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled large bowl, turning dough to coat, and cover with a kitchen towel. Allow to rise until doubled in volume, approximately 20 minutes.
Preheat oven to 415 degrees. Drizzle olive oil onto a baking sheet (I used one that is 16 x 12 x 1) and spread oil to coat. Turn dough out onto oiled baking sheet and spread and flatten the dough until it covers the baking sheet evenly. Using your fingertips, make indentations all over the dough approximately 1 inch apart. Drizzle the focaccia with 2 tbsp. of olive oil. Let rise for 10 minutes.
After the dough has risen, bake the focaccia for 7 minutes. Remove from oven and spoon pizza sauce over the dough and then top with cheese, leaving about a half inch around the border. Bake for approximately 10-12 minutes until cheese is bubbly and crust is lightly golden. Remove from oven and cut into squares or rectangles to serve.
