1/4 cup finely chopped garlic (I think a little bit less would also be ok).3 garlic cloves, peeled and thinly sliced.2 pounds, 8 ounces unbleached all purpose flour.The recipe said to bake the bread at 450F, maybe a little bit lower would be better for the Tomato Focaccia. The tomatoes though burned a little bit, maybe fresh tomatoes would be better or you watch the tomatoes and when they start to get dark cover the focaccia with foil.
The below recipe is for a Rosemary Garlic Focaccia Bread I divided the dough and also made one with Garlic and Sun dried Tomatoes which was really really good.

You can keep the Focaccia well wrapped up in the fridge for 1 or 2 days but then it gets dry which will work well for making breadcrumbs for topping home made Mac and Cheese or you can also make Croutons out of the Focaccia.
Its pretty much a pesto but with way more garlic and a combo of basil and parsley. Since you will end up with much more Focaccia than you can eat in one sitting with your pasta, I turned the rest of it into an Italian Mozzarella/Tomato/Basil Sandwich topped with this unbelievable house made garlic spread. I liked it so much that I had to bake it myself at home and it turned out great. But what did come out great was the Focaccia Bread. Even in the bread baking class the Sourdough rolls didn’t turn out very well. I have found a complete new admiration for Artisan bakers. They all do taste great though, so far I must have eaten approximately 20 of my own loafs – much to the dismays of my husband who would rather have me bake chocolate chip cookies, but still they don’t turn out picture perfect! its almost impossible for the home baker to turn out the “perfect loaf”.
I am pretty close to the perfect loaf – but with all the influencing factors like weather, oven steam, yeast etc. My friend Astrid gave me a bread baking class for my birthday – I couldn’t have gotten a better birthday present! I am trying to master the art of bread baking now for a good 6 months or so and still haven’t found the perfect recipe for a Sourdough Bread.
