Focaccia Bread

2 2/3 cups flour
1 large egg
1 tsp salt
1 tsp white sugar
1 tbsp active dry yeast
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp dried basil (I didn't use this in my recipe this time)
1 pinch of black ground pepper
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 cup water
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp parmesan cheese (I used more, I sprinkled on top of bread before baking)
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese


1. In a large bowl, stir together the flour, salt, sugar, yeast, garlic powder, oregano, thyme, basil and black pepper. Mix in the vegetable oil, egg and water.
2. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead until smooth and elastic. Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl, and turn to coat with oil. 3. Cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place for 20 minutes.
4. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Punch dough down; place on greased baking sheet. Pat into a 1/2 inch thick rectangle. Brush top with olive oil. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and mozzarella cheese (I also before adding the cheese's I added more of the garlic powder and other spices to the top of the bread.)
5. Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve warm.
