ROSEMARY-GARLIC FOCACCIA BREAD

Rosemary-Garlic Focaccia Bread image

This bread smells wonderful when it's baking in the oven. I make it mostly during the summer when rosemary is abundant in the garden, but also around the holidays when rosemary plants are available in the stores. -Tammy Bollman, Minatare, Nebraska
