My Oh my! I need to take a deep breath here. Focaccia is an Italian beauty, a gift to every bread lover. I think I should say it’s a designer bread (Wonder if I could say that?) …
While in an Italian restaurant, a small basket of different types of bread was served on our table, I have to admit, Italians are so good in baking.
Focaccia bread looked different and smelled amazing. One bite, just one bite and I fell in love with it.
It tastes combined pizza dough, garlic bread, and something out of this world. When baking this bread, top it with bacon, onion, vegetables, cheese, roasted garlic, it all will taste wonderful.
One more thing about Focaccia bread, you can make it crispy by rolling it thin. You know what? I’ll let you be the judge.
Here it comes!
Ingredients:
1 cup all purpose flour
Pinch of salt
2 teaspoons dry active yeast
1/2 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup warm water (May need less)
For topping:

1 tablespoon rosemary (either fresh or dry)
