This sweet, tangy and savory focaccia is the perfect Italian inspired happy hour snack to share with friends and family along side a glass of wine
In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment or in a large mixing bowl with a hand held mixer, place the warm water and sugar in and sprinkle the yeast on top and let it bloom for 5 minutes
Add the red pepper flakes, 2 tbsp. olive oil, 1 cup flour and salt, mix on low speed until just combined
Add half the rosemary along with the golden raisins, goat cheese and 1/2 cup of olives
While the mixer is on low, mix in the remaining flour until the dough pulls away from the sides
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees
Lightly flour a surface and turn out the dough onto it and form into a large disc
Drizzle 1 tbsp. olive oil into a 10 inch cast iron skillet and brush the bottom and sides
Place the dough into the skillet pressing it flat on the bottom and up the sides about an inch and cover with a clean towel
Turn off the oven and place the skillet in and let rest for 20 minutes
Take out of oven and preheat oven to 400 degrees
Mix together in a small bowl the remaining rosemary, olive oil, olives and garlic and spread it over the top of the dough and with your fingertips, press indentations all over the top
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown, let cool and serve
