I'm having mixed emotions myself because it is so stinkin' good I want to eat the whole pan.
I found a basic starter recipe on All Recipes and then tweaked it a little based on some other reviews. This is what I came up with - as good as any restaurant focaccia I've ever had!
Oh bless you, dear bread machine.
Bread Machine Focaccia
Ingredients
1 cup warm water
1 cup warm water
2 tablespoons olive oil (plus 2 tablespoons for later)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
2 teaspoons dried rosemary (plus 1 teaspoon for later)
3 cups bread flour
1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
Kosher salt, for sprinkling
Directions
Put water, 2 Tbsp olive oil, salt, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, 2 tsp rosemary, bread flour and yeast in the pan of the bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. I did mine in the exact order listed, making a well in the flour for the yeast.
Select dough cycle; press start.
Remove dough from bread machine when cycle is complete. Pat dough into a 9x13 inch baking pan or 12 inch pizza pan. Use your fingers to dimple the dough every inch or so. Brush with remaining 2 Tbsp olive oil and sprinkle with kosher salt and remaining 1 tsp rosemary.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cover foccacia with plastic wrap while oven preheats.
Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
This bread is delicious as is, but could also be dipped in a mixture of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. We had it with spaghetti last night!
Enjoy and be blessed!
