Directions:1. Stir yeast and sugar into the warm water. Let sit until foam appears about 5 minutes.
2. Measure flour into medium bowl & whisk in salt. Make a well in the middle. In small intervals, add the yeast to flour, while stirring with hand or spoon to combine. Add more of yeast, & continue to combine, while stirring to incorporate. Continue to stir until the dough starts to take shape and is sticky. Add additional flour and water as necessary by the spoonful and continue to mix.
3. With hands, vigorously shake dough around the bowl to tighten & form a ball shape. Add a few tablespoons of oil to a clean bowl and swirl around to coat the bowl. Add the dough and turn to coat with the oil. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a proofing box or warm spot until doubled in size, about 1 hour 30 minutes.
4.Spread the dough onto a greased 13-by 18-inch baking sheet and gently punch down to expel any air, and then let it rise again for 1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Ladle the sauce over the focaccia, and top with the vegetables, cheese and basil. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. |

Notes: Hands down, Pop has perfected the Focaccia and wasn't shy to share it with the world with his tv debut on Mo Rocca's , "My Grandmother's Ravoli". This was an unforgettable experience as he sweetly spoke about Mommy and kept her spirit alive!
