In a large mixing bowl combine the warm water, yeast, sugar, and 2 tbsp olive oil. Allow the yeast to proof by letting it sit for about 5 minutes. You'll see bubbles for foam form.

Notes

** The amount of flour might be different due to climate differences and measuring. You may use up to 3 1/2 cups of flour. Do not add too much flour to the dough as it will cause a dry focaccia bread to form.

** I used cherry tomatoes for this recipe but you can use Roma tomatoes.

** I use pink Himalayan salt for my recipes you can substitute any salt you have on hand.
