Instructions
Prepare Dough:
Mix together warmed water with honey, olive oil, and salt.
Add flour, yeast, and seasonings to a bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a dough hook.
Add water mixture and set machine to knead/mix until dough comes together as smooth and lightly tacky, with no loose flour or wet spots.
Adjust with tablespoons of flour to dry it or tablespoons of water to wet it if needed until the dough looks just right, smooth as a baby's butt.
Turn dough out into an oiled mixing bowl.
Cover with plastic lightly sprayed with nonstick and proof/rest at 1 hour in a draft free place until doubled in size.
Prepare Focaccia:
Pour oil for pan treatment into a 9x13x1 inch sheet pan or oblong baking pan and add dough, spreading out with your fingers to fill the pan.
Cover again and proof/rest another hour or until doubled in size. During this time preheat your oven to 450F.
Top and Bake:
When dough has risen, poke your finger into the dough at 1-2 inch intervals until the dough is covered with pock marks.
Drizzle top of dough and holes with olive oil and brush on the pizza sauce in a light coating.
Add toppings.
Bake for twenty minutes or until browned.
Sprinkle with parsley and peppers to garnish.
Cut into 6 pieces and serve.
