Focaccia is an Italian bread that is similar to pizza dough, with the addition of olive oil and herbs. It can be served as an appetizer with dipping sauces, as a side dish to soups, stews and pastas or eaten on its own as a snack. This recipe uses a bread machine to create the dough, making it a simple and convenient way to make fresh bread at home. By making it yourself, it allows you to choose the ingredients that go into the bread, creating a healthier and tastier product. It is best served warm and fresh out of the oven, accompanied by a flavorful dipping sauce.

Instructions

1.	Add the yeast, bread flour, salt, sugar, rosemary, oregano, oil, and water in the bread machine pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer.
2.	Select the dough setting and start the bread machine.
3.	Once the dough has been made in the bread machine, remove it and roll it out into a rectangle shape. Place the dough onto a greased baking sheet and let it rise for about 30 minutes.
4.	Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and then bake the focaccia for about 10-15 minutes or until golden brown.

PROS

This Focaccia recipe is incredibly easy to make and the bread machine takes care of most of the work.

CONS

This adds some extra preparation time.
