Ginger Cookies , Sweet potato fritters, Focaccia

The Sandwich Cookbook is a pocket size book with ideas of making sandwiches.It's was written by Israel Aharoni in 2002 in Hebrew.This book is full with salty or sweet sandwiches - realy yummy,with Nelli Sheffer's photography you get a very nice Book.On the last page of this book I've found a Bread recipe..another Focaccia Dough which is quick to make and bake , even you have No rosemary at all (like me..), I added less water as written, here is the recipe like I did it, It's for a very very large Bread with a wonderful taste !
You can make the dough with your mixer or as I did.. with my 2 hands..

Focaccia
Mix 1 TB dry yeast (or 35 fresh yeast as written in the book)+1 TB sugar+1 cup lukewarm water ,mix for 2 minutes and let this rise for 30 minutes, covered.Now add : 2 TB sugar, 1TB salt, 4TB olive oil, 1 Tb rosemary, 800 gr AP flour and 1 3/4 cups lukewarm water.Mix the dough for about 5 minutes- don't worry :the dough will be very soft and sticky (yes.. very sticky.It's OK) ,remove the dough from your bowl and put it on a large baking dish, in the middle (don't flatten the dough now..), cover and let it rise for 1 hour.
with oiled hands (with olive oil..!) flatten the dough all over the baking dish, let it rise for another 30 minutes. Meanwhile preheat the oven to 220C , make holes in the dough,spinkle with olive oil and Coarse Salt. Bake for 20 minutes ,until brown and you can fell that good smell all around.
