Directions
Kittencal’s Parmesan Focaccia, This recipe will make the softest and most delicious foccacia, feel free to add on any other topping, like roasted red peppers or roasted garlic, or caramelized onions, see my recipe#120711 and recipe#89007 you can even sprinkle with dried thyme also This recipe makes two 13 x 9-inch foccacia so you might want to freeze one to use later, foccacia will freeze well for up to 3 weeks, but these are just so good you will most likely end up finishing both of them before even making it to the freezer lol!
