Notes

What is Focaccia?
Focaccia is an Italian flatbread that is typically made with olive oil. To make this focaccia you'll need the typically bread-making ingredients, including flour, active dry yeast, sugar and salt. But the herbs and green onions are what make the bread really special. Herbs like rosemary, oregano, sage and parsley. Use fresh or dried and sprinkle the herbs generously over the loaves before baking.
