Focaccia - Recipe

With the weather report calling for snow today DH had a request for some sort of homemade bread.
Off I went to the King Arthur website to see what I could make that would fill his request.
The request was for a bread that was sort of crunchy, soft inside and good flavor.
O.K.
I found a recipe for a No-Fuss Focaccia Bread, sounded good, did not take that long to make and we all enjoy it. (They were my simple requests.)

I decided to add in a mix of Italian Seasoning (Basil, Oregano, Thyme, Garlic) and top with a tiny bit of mozzarella cheese.

This bread turned out perfect!
Nice and light on the inside, a nice crispy crust and was a snap to make.
This was one loaf that was a big hit in this house and will be made again, and again, and again.
Yes, it was that good. :-D
