Recipes, as in food, and easy focaccia bread

I was inspired by a github repo for food recipes that I came across recently. I was amused the author had to specify "actual food recipes," because the word recipe can mean so much in this technical world we live in. I store my recipes in plain text, in a format fairly similar to jschauma does. Here is one such recipe:

Recipe: Easy focaccia bread
Source: https://www.womanscribbles.net/easy-focaccia-bread/
Date: 2020-04-19

Ingredients:
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
1 tbsp active dry yeast (1 packet is only 2.25 tbsp, so add a pinch of baking powder)
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp dried basil
1 pinch ground black pepper
1 cup warm water 105-115 F
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 clove garlic minced
2 tbsp olive oil
1/4 cup grated parmesan

Oven: 425°F, 12-16m

Directions:
1. In a large bowl, stir together flour, suguar, yeast, salt, ground pepper, and spices. Stir water and oil in. When the dough is "shaggy," turn it over onto a lightly floured surface.
2. Add the garlic and knead for 6-8 minutes.
3. Cover and let rise in a greased bowl for 45 minutes. It might not necessarily double in size.
4. Punch down dough, and place on a baking sheet. Form no thicker than 1/2inch. Cover again and let rise for 25 minutes.
5. Indent surface with fingertips, all over. Brush with a small amount of olive oil, and do not let it pool. Sprinkle parmesan cheese (more is better), and some salt.
6. Bake at 425°F for 12-16 minutes or until lightly golden.
