  1. (I am Gordon Wagner -- could not figure out which e-mail address I'd used) -- this is a good recipe, but the 1 1/4 OUNCES of yeast called for originally is insane. Use ONE TEASPOON of active dry yeast.
     
  2. Easy, delicious flatbread which is fantastic for sandwiches.
     
  3. A wonderful chance to buy and try a new spice blend. And I love focaccia anyway, so double YUM. I made this for Freezer Tag 2008. It was a little tougher from the freezer than I might like, but I think any focaccia would be just because of the kind of bread it is. I did no ttry freezing the dough after step 5 and then thawing and baking from there, but that might be the best bet for this bread. In any case, I'm keeping this one, and I'll be using it whether it goes in the freezer or not!
