Focaccia Bread

1 tablespoon dry yeast
1 tablespoon sugar
1 Cup warm water
Nonstick cooking spray
1 teaspoon canola oil
2 1/2 cups white flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoon butter/margarine
1/4 cup fresh rosemary, chopped (or 2 Tbs. dried)

Place yeast, sugar and water (it should be pretty warm to hot. If you get it just warm the yeast won't activate) in a large bowl or food processor and allow the mixture to become bubbly. Mix in 2 C flour and salt. Knead for about 10 minutes or process in food processor for 15 seconds or until smooth and elastic. Add more flour if necessary. Oil bowl (I just sprayed it with Pam instead), put dough in it and cover with a towel. Let dough rise in a warm place for 1 hour until doubled.

Punch down dough and divide in half. Let the dough rest for a few minutes. Coat 2 9-inch square pans with nonstick spray.

Press dough down into pans. Melt butter. Brush over the the tops of the loaves. Sprinkle rosemary over the loaves and lightly press into the surface. Let the loaves rise again until doubled, about 45 minutes.

Preheat over to 450 F. Lightly sprinkle salt over the loaves. Bake for 20-25 minutes until ightly browned.
