I saw a focaccia similar to this at a local specialty shop and the price was outrageous, so I picked up some heirloom tomatoes and mozzarella and made my own. I added some whole wheat flour in place of some of the white just to make it a little healthier!
Dissolve the yeast in 1/2 cup of the warm water, and let sit 10 minutes until bubbly. In a large bowl, combine the flours, salt, yeast mixture and enough remaining water to create a soft dough. Mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon and then your hands.
Transfer to a floured work surface and knead by hand for a few minutes or until smooth. Place in a well oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise until doubled, about 1 1/2 hours.
Punch down the dough and place on an oiled baking sheet, forming into an oval or circle. Space the tomatoes evenly across the surface of the focaccia, then sprinkle the basil leaves, and pine nuts. Push the mozzarella cubes into the dough. Dimple the top surface with your finger tips, and then drizzle with the oil and sprinkle with coarse salt.
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Bake about 20 minutes or until golden. Serve warm or at room temperature.
