Roasted cherry tomato focaccia

This simple recipe uses M&S white bread mix, which is a fabulous ingredient to keep in your store cupboard.

Preparation

Slice the garlic cloves. Halve the cherry tomatoes.

6 Cover with a tea towel and leave to rise in a warm place for 20-30 minutes.
7 Heat the oven to 220°C/425°F/gas 7 (200°C for fan ovens).
8 Use your fingers to dimple all over the surface of the dough.
9 Arrange the tomatoes over the top, scatter with the thyme, season and drizzle with the remaining extra virgin olive oil.
10 Bake for 20 minutes until the bread is golden and risen.
11 Cool slightly, cut into squares and serve warm.
