I started my own little herb garden and the first herb I bought was rosemary, not even for its culinary use but merely so I could go outside every morning and smell it!

Fortunately on Saturday I was able to use it for both purposes in this amazing freshly baked rosemary focaccia bread!

  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 3 tbsp fresh rosemary (chopped)

Start by combing the yeast, sugar and water and wait 10 minutes until bubbly.

Allow the dough to rise for an hour and a half or until doubled in size.

Next, split the dough in half and form into two oval shapes on a Baking Stone. Use your finger to press indentations into the bread (fun!)
