Focaccia Bread

I am working on building my bread repertoire as I'm realizing that bread can make a wonderful side dish for many meals. We've found some winners but we've also found some that won't be repeated. This focaccia bread defintely goes in the winner category. My husband declared that it was the star of the meal. (I'm not sure what that says about the rest of the meal.)
I was very pleased with how easy this was to make. You essentially only have three chunks of time you need to devote to it and the length of those times are much less than with a typical bread. The bread turned out moist and flavorful, a perfect complement to our dinner.
