Instructions: In food processor, combine flour, sugar, salt and yeast; pulse to mix. With machine running, add water and 1 tablespoon oil through feed tube. When dough forms a ball, process 30 seconds or until dough is smooth and elastic. Grease medium bowl. With floured hands, remove dough from food processor; place in bowl. Cover with plastic wrap; let rise in warm place 20 minutes. Meanwhile, heat oven to 400 F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. In small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon oil and garlic. Punch down dough; divide in half. On lightly floured surface, roll each half into 8 inch round; place on baking sheet. Press dough with fingertips to create dimples. Brush with garlic-oil mixture; sprinkle with cheese, thyme, kosher salt and pepper. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Cut into wedges. Serve warm.

Yield: 16 servings

NOTES : The beauty of this bread is the speed with which it can be prepared. A food processor shortens mixing time and eliminates kneading, and fast-acting yeast reduces the rising time. The result is a warm, herb-scented bread ready in less than an hour.
