Comments: This is a great focaccia recipe from a local deli here in Connecticut: NOTE: Try these herb combinations (fresh or dried): basil; lemon-rosemary; lemon-chive; lemon-basil; fennel-lemon or orange; crushed red pepper and oregano; chopped olives and rosemary; olives and sun-dried tomatoes; or your own combo. I used a variety of Italian seasonings and used this dough as a pizza crust. It was incredible!
