Best Pesto Focaccia Bread Recipes
PESTO AND OLIVE FOCACCIA (BREAD MACHINE)
The pesto and olive give the focaccia a very robust flavor. As a variation, omit the pesto and brush dough with olive oil, then sprinkle with snipped fresh basil and finely shredded parmesan cheese. This comes from my Better Homes and Garden Bread Machine Book.

PESTO FOCACCIA BREAD
This bread recipe is a wonderful addition to soups and pasta! My favorite soup to pair it with is my copycat Zuppa Toscana! The pesto can be omitted to give the bread a more simple Parmesan flavor.
