Bread Machine Focaccia Bread


Ingredients:

Water, 8o-90 degrees F (27-32 degrees C)

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon of Italian seasoning

2 teaspoons of salt

4 1/4 cups flour

2 teaspoons yeast, active dry, instant or bread machine

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (235 degrees C).

1-2 teaspoons dried rosemary (crushed between fingers)

1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese



With oiled fingertips, press indentations into the dough all over about 1/2 inch deep. Brush dough with olive oil. Sprinkle evenly with remaining ingredients. Place in preheated oven and bake until golden and puffed with a crispy crust, about 10-15 minutes.
