Fabulous Focaccia

The dough is simple to make. I let it rise for approx.
1 hr 15 min. An hour will do just fine.

Put dimples in the dough with your fingers.

You need to brush the bread's surface with olive oil.


Some of my toppings include rosemary, garlic, coarse salt, Roma tomatoes, and red onions.

The finished product. The end product is very beautiful and would make a
great gift for someone. A fabulous focaccia recipe by Tyler Florence...so good and so easy!

A Garden Update: May 11th 2009

The garden is growing...slowly. Tonight, I planted some Roma tomatoes, jalapenos, chilies, hot banana peppers, habaneros, and eggplant. I would say the garden is approximately 65% planted. It has been raining every few days preventing planting, however it's still only May 11th. There's no need to worry. The broccoli is looking great, but my arugula is getting eaten by flea beetles.
