ONION HERB FOCACCIA BREAD
So yummy and good! We tried this recipe a week ago and as soon as it was gone we made it again! Can make into great breadsticks to accompany an Italian meal. The recipe makes two flat loaves and you just cut them into strips. Another great recipe by the Micheff sister Brenda Walsh. As an option she sometimes adds sliced Greek olives, but I haven't tried it that way yet.
