First Rise
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Shape the Focaccia
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Punch down the risen dough and transfer to a greased baking sheet. Stretch and press the dough to fit the sheet. Create dimples in the surface using your fingers.
