Seriously people, this bread is so amazing! I promise. I passed this recipe along to older sister and she had the same "so delicious" response. It reminds me of the bread you get at Earls. You must eat it with olive oil & balsamic vinegar (just like Earls). Plus, it smells divine when it's baking. I think I told Glenn that if we ever were staging a home to sell I would bake this bread every time we had a showing. I would totally buy a house based on the smell of this bread alone. (no? just me?)
Foccacia Bread
1 Cup of Warm Water
2 TB Olive Oil
1/2 Tsp Salt
1/2 Tsp Garlic Salt, Basil, Oregano
2 Tsp Rosemary
3 Cups of Flour
1 1/2 Tsp Yeast
Put all ingredients in order into bread machine. Put on dough setting. When finished press into greased glass 9x12 pan. Just use your fingers to push into corners. It doesn't have to perfect, in fact Foccacia bread is usually quite "rustic" looking. Place cloth over top and leave to rise in a warm place for 45 minutes.
Brush with a bit of olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt & a bit of rosemary. Then bake @ 400F for 20-25 minutes.
The hardest part is letting it rest for a few minutes before cutting into it!
