We do love focaccia bread but usually get it from the store! However, with this recipe, (&, I'll admit, a couple of others I've tried), I'm now prepared to have it homemade! This bread of yours is most satisfying & I really enjoyed making it, even though just the 2 of us managed to devour most of it in one sitting ~ We really do need to pace ourselves with things like this! Thanks so much for sharing the recipe! [Made & reviewed for one of my adoptees in this fall's round of Pick A Chef]

This is very good! I have to make myself stop eating it right out of the oven! I do the dough in the machine. I bake at a lower temperature now, otherwise I need to cover it with foil. Makes awesome paninis.
