  • Add 1 Tbsp olive oil and minced rosemary.
  • Season with salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste.
  • Knead dough until all ingredients are combined.

  2. This was a nice and simple bread to make for quick dinner. Loved it with my pasta and meatballs. Nice switch up from garlic bread. I love cheese and next time I would only add a little more.
     
  3. This is such a cool idea. Making this gave me many ideas for different kinds of foccacia to make like this. The only thing that I did differently was to omit the olives as I am not a fan of them.
