Ingredients

Bread

  • 1 ¼ cup warm water
  • 4 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon dried rosemary
  • 2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoon sugar
  • 3 cups bread flour
  • 2 minced garlic cloves
  • 1 ½ teaspoon yeast (see notes)

Topping

  • 2 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for coating pan
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup fresh rosemary (and choice of other herbs)
  • ½ cup Parmesan (optional)

Instructions

  • Add all bread ingredients to the bread machine in the order listed. For non-Cuisinart machines, follow the instructions for order of ingredients in your manual. Set to dough cycle.
  • When cycle completes, remove the dough to a floured surface and punch down. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
  • Roll the dough into a 12 by 8 inch oval or 9 by 9 circle. Move to a warm place, cover and let rise until doubled in size, about 40 minutes.
  • Grease a pan generously with olive oil and sprinkle with cornmeal. Preheat the oven to 450° F.
  • With oiled fingertips, press holes into the dough about 1 inch apart and ½ inch deep. Spread the 2 tablespoon of olive oil on top of the dough and sprinkle with the salt, herbs, and cheese.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown. Transfer to a cooling rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing.

Notes

The order of placing ingredients into the pan is for Cuisinart bread makers. If the recommended order of ingredients for your brand of bread machine differs, make sure to add them in that order.
Yeast: instant yeast, active dry yeast, and bread machine yeast are all fine to use in this recipe.
Flour: substitute the bread flour with all purpose flour if you don't have it on hand.
Herbs: select a combination of your favorite herbs in addition to the rosemary for the topping, if desired. 
Storing: focaccia bread should be stored in an airtight bread bag or bread box. It will keep for 2-3 days at room temperature when stored properly. Store it in the freezer for up to 6 months for later use.
