Herb Cheese Focaccia



4               cups  all-purpose flour
1            package  Fleischmann’s® Rapid Rise Yeast
1/2      teaspoon  salt
1 1/2           cups  water
4        tablespoons  olive oil — divided
2       large cloves  garlic — minced
6             ounces  Asiago cheese — finely shredded
1           teaspoon  rosemary leaves — crumbled
1           teaspoon  thyme leaves — crumbled

In large bowl combine 3 cups flour, undissolved yeast and salt. Heat water
and 2 tablespoons oil until very warm (125ş to 130şF). Stir hot liquids
into dry ingredients. Mix in enough remaining flour to make soft dough.

Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 8 to 10
minutes. Cover; let rest 10 minutes. Press dough evenly into greased 10- ×
15-inch baking sheet. Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until
almost doubled, about 30 minutes. Press fingertips or wooden spoon handle
into dough at 1/2-inch intervals.

In small bowl mix garlic with remaining oil; brush over surface of dough.
Sprinkle evenly with cheese and herbs.

Bake at 400şF for 25 to 30 minutes or until done. Remove from pan and cool
on wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
