Pepperoni Focaccia Bread image

This focaccia bread recipe is perfect to serve with a pasta dinner, either as an appetizer or sliced for sandwiches. You will love the smell of it baking-it's hard to wait for it to be done! I like to add some thinly sliced plum tomatoes and fresh basil on top. - Trisha Kruse, Eagle, Idaho
