1 cup Water (105 F - 115 F)
-
½ teaspoon Organic Blue Agave Syrup
-
¼ cup Olive Oil
-
1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
-

Directions
In a processor fitted with a blade, add water, agave, and yeast.
Let stand until yeast dissolves or appears creamy, about 11 minutes.
Add oil, salt, flour, ground flax and 1 tablespoon of Italian Herb Seasoning.
Process mixture until blended. Add more flour in 1 tablespoon increments if necessary. The dough should look like biscuit or scone dough.
Turn dough out onto a lightly sprayed 13 x 9 baking dish, then spread dough to evenly cover bottom of dish.
Loosely cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a draft-free, warm area until puffy, about 1 hour. It should look like a big marshmallow.
Preheat oven to 400F.
Remove plastic wrap from baking dish and evenly sprinkle remaining 1½ tsp Italian Herb Seasoning and parmesan cheese over top of focaccia.
Bake 25-28 minutes or until crusty. Cut into rectangles or triangles and serve warm or at room temperature.
Wrap tightly in plastic wrap for storage.
