For the Base

  • 1 cup warm water about 110°F
  • 2 teaspoons active dry yeast

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
For the Topping
  • 4 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup jalapenos sliced and seeds removed
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Method
 

Prepare the Dough
  1. In a large bowl, combine warm water and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
  2. Add flour, salt, and olive oil to the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth.
  4. 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.
Prepare the Focaccia
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and spread it onto a greased baking sheet, creating dimples with your fingers.
  3. Spread the softened cream cheese evenly over the dough.
  4. Evenly distribute the sliced jalapenos and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and green onions on top.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
Serve
  1. Let the focaccia cool for a few minutes before cutting into squares.
  2. Serve warm as an appetizer or snack.
