The Walsh Cookbook

This is my adaptation of the basic Focaccia recipe that’s in the family cookbook. I’ve made it this way for a long time, and it’s always a hit, especially with boys. Our dad didn’t believe that I’d made it the first time he had it, and my ex boyfriend requested that I make sure this bread was available to him at all times. It also makes really good sandwiches, but more on that later… what you will need 2 cups lukewarm water  1 pkg. dry yeast (2 ½ teaspoons, if bulk)  1 Tbsp. sugar  2 tsp. salt  4 cups bread flour (but all-purpose will do)  2 Handfuls of cherry (or other small) tomatoes, halved  1 clove garlic, sliced very thinly  Herbs – whatever you like, Italian Mix, Rosemary, etc.  Kosher or Sea Salt for sprinkling
