Yield: 1 Servings

Ingredients

      4    cloves garlic -- minced or
      1    pressed
    1/2 c  olive oil
      1 tb dry yeast
  1 1/2 c  warm water
      1 tb sugar
      1 ts salt
      1 c  whole wheat flour
      1 c  semolina flour

      1    cups) -- cut in 1/4
      1    cubes
      2 tb fresh oregano or 2 tsp.
      1    dried
      2 c  all-purpose flour --
      1    unbleached

Instructions

Gently cook the garlic in the oil for 3-5 minutes, just until garlic
begins to brown slightly. Remove from heat and cool. In a large
bowl, soften the yeast in the water. Add the sugar, salt, 2 tbsp
cooled garlic oil, whole wheat flour, the semolina flour, the cheese
and oregano. Beat vigorously for 2 minutes. Gradually add
all-purpose flour 1/4 cup at a time until the dough mass forms and
pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Knead for 8-10 minutes, adding
flour if necessary, until dough is smooth and elastic and blisters
have started to form on the surface. Put dough in an oiled bowl, turn
to coat top of bowl. Cover and let rise until double, about 1 hour.
Turn the dough onto work surface, press into 14" circle. Cover and
let rise 20 minutes. Dimple the dough with your finger tips pressing
to the bottom of the pan. Cover and let rise 20 more minutes. About
15 minutes before the end of the rising preheat the oven to 400F Just
before baking drizzle the top of the dough with the remaining garlic
oil mixture, allowing it to puddle in the dimples. Bake for 25
minutees or until it is golden brow (internal temperature should
reach 190F) Immediately remove the bread from the pan and put it on a
rack. Focaccia is best eaten warm or at room temperature
