Focaccia Bread - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 cup water
    2 tablespoons water
    3 cups bread flour
    1/3 cup parmesan cheese, grated
    1 teaspoon salt
    2 tablespoons dry milk
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    1 tablespoon sugar
    2 teaspoons dried basil
    1 tablespoon active dry yeast
    3 large garlic cloves, finely slivered
    2 tablespoons olive oil
Preparation
    Put all ingredients except the garlic and 2 tbsp olive oil in the bread pan of your bread machine. Select dough cycle.
    Remove the dough after the cycle is completed.
    In a parchment paper lined (or cornmeal sprinkled) cookie sheet, pat the dough into a roughly round shape about 1/2-inch thick. Cover with a towel and let it rest for 45 minutes.
    Preheat the oven to 400\u00b0F.
    Combine the garlic with 2 tbsp olive oil. Dimple the dough with your fingers and brush it with the olive oil mixture. Sprinkle the dough with coarse salt, if desired.
    Bake the focaccia for 15-20 minutes, until it's deep brown all over. Remove it from the pan and cool it for 15 minutes before eating.
