HERBED FOCACCIA BREAD MIX

Steps:

• Combine all of the herbs and mix well.
• If you cannot find savory or lavender, don't worry about it.
• Store in a small zip-lock bag.
• Use in Herbed Focaccia Bread Mix, or on top of meats, or in salad dressings.
• Assemble, your dry ingredients in a quart size zip-lock bag, and mix them well in the bag.
• You can do this by sealing it and then turning it over and over.
• For storing your Bread Mix, you can place it in a Mason Jar.
• I like to get some pretty material and glue to the lid of the Mason Jar, then hot glue some pretty lace around the lip of the jar.
• Or if you do not wish to use Jars, you can buy some clear cellophane bags, and store your mix in it, and tie the top with colorful ribbon and attach a cute gift card with the instructions on how to make your Herbed Focaccia Bread.

FOCACCIA BREAD MIX

Steps:

• Bread Mix---------.
• Mix well in a large tub or bowl.
• If you like herbs in your bread, add 2 T sweet basil, or a mix of Italian herbs.
• Mix well with a wire whisk.
• Then put in plastic containers to store.
• To Bake----------------.
• Mix and blend well.
• No need to knead, just mix well, until the dough is smooth, makes a firm ball, and is not sticky.
• If sticky, add some more flour until it's firm.
• Put it in the refrigerator and let it sit for a day.
• If you don't have a day, let it rise for a couple of hours, punching it down when it doubles.
• This will develop a much better flavor and crust.
• If your in a hurry the dough can go into the oven as soon as you roll it out, and let it rise for 15 minutes.
• This is a very forgiving recipe so don't worry.
• Now when your ready to bake, separate the dough into 3 pieces.
• With a little flour scattered on your counter, roll each piece of dough out into a circle about 1/2 inch thick.
• Set on greased baking sheets.
• Then let the dough proof or raise for 15 minutes.
• Then put your fingers into the dough, making some impressions, brush with melted butter or olive oil, and then very lightly with Italian sauce.
• Get creative with your toppings if you want.
• Parmesan, and fresh rosemary are great.
• Bake at 375 for 15 to 20 minutes until nicely browned and crusty.
• The bottom should be brown as well.
• Brush again with melted butter or olive oil.
• Now when the bread has cooled, wrap in plastic wrap completely, and freeze.
