Add just enough extra water, if necessary, to make a soft, slightly tacky dough. At the end of the final knead, remove the dough from the machine to a lightly floured work space.
• Knead the dough several times, adding just enough flour to keep it from sticking to the surface.
• Cover it with a clean cloth while you prepare the filling.
• TO FINISH THE FOCACCIA.
• Spray a 9- or 10-inch springform pan with nonstick vegetable spray or coat it lightly with vegetable oil.
• Cut the dough in half and stretch or roll one half in a circle large enough to fit the 9- or 10-inch bottom of the springform pan, and place it in the bottom of the prepared pan.
• Sprinkle the tomatoes, the olives, and pinches of the cream cheese (or crumbles of the goat cheese) over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border of dough around the circumference. Moisten the outer edge of the dough with water.
• Roll the remaining dough out to the same size as the first one and place it over the filling. Pinch the edges of the two doughs together to seal.
• Using the tip of a knife, carve three 1/2-inch vent strips in the top layer of dough.

BAKED " BREAD MACHINE" FOCACCIA WITH THE WORKS

Steps:

• Dough: Put the 1 1/2 cup water in the bread machine.
• Add the other ingredients in this order: sugar, salt, oil, flour, yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano and black pepper.
• Place bread machine on dough setting and start.
• Note the amount of time your bread machine will take and set another timer for this amount (or do it manually, I use the timer on my microwave for for this).
• As soon as the dough forms a ball (several minutes) add the 3 tbsp lukewarm water.
• This amount of flour is more than most bread machines can handle, so check every 10 minutes when it is not actively mixing.
• If it's getting too high, just stop the dough cycle and restart it (this is why the other timer is needed).
• At the end of the time (on my machine it is 130 minutes) turn off the bread machine and remove the dough.
• Grease a large pizza pan (or a large rectangular cookie sheet with sides, or 2 small pizza pans) and turn the dough out on it (I usually put a bit of oil or cooking spray on my hands so It doesn't stick to me).
• Spread the dough evenly on the pan, making it higher on the edges of the pan for a crust.
• Cover with plastic wrap and let rise until double.
• About 15-20 minutes.
