Focaccia Bread

After gaining some confidence with other bread recipes, I was ready to try something a bit more challenging, and focaccia bread seemed like a fun experiment last month.  Following this recipe, I completed the rising steps throughout the afternoon, and by the time dinner was ready, we had perfect focaccia bread.

The fresh bread was perfect next to pasta with tomato cream sauce.

I probably could have cut the recipe in half, considering it was just the two of us, buy the leftovers were just as good.  The next night, we used up some leftover flank steak and made steak and arugula sandwiches on focaccia bread.

If you've ever been inclined to try to make bread at home, I highly recommend you give focaccia bread a try!
