Focaccia Bread

2oz Instant Dry Yeast 2 1/2 cups warm water (Mix and Bloom for a few minutes) 11 lbs AP Flour 1/3 cup salt 1/4 cup sugar 8 cups water 1 cup honey 1 1/2 cups olive oil We can cut this in 1/2's after being made, 1/2 to be baked today, the other covered in cooler until tomorrow. This recipe will make 2 full sheet trays (4 1/2's) After yeast and water are together, add flour, salt, sugar, the remaining water, honey and finally olive oil. (This recipe is very basic and can have herbs and or any other ingredients added) Once dough is finished in hobart, place out onto the correct amount of sheet trays with parchment paper and olive oil. You will have to press the dough out once or twice while it rises which takes 1 to 2 hours maximum. Before cooking brush or spray with more olive oil, black pepper and sea salt. 475 degree in our oven number (3) for 15 min, then turn for another 15 minutes, and once again until evenly browned on the top. Let cool on racks before cutting.
