Rosemary Focaccia

Mouth watering delicious no knead focaccia with sea salt flakes, lots of olive oil and fresh rosemary sprigs. This recipe results in an olive oil coated crusty top and a soft and pillowy interior that tastes so good you can eat it as is. You can also modulate the recipe to whichever toppings you desire, I find cherry tomatoes, feta or parmesan cheese, blue cheese walnuts and even freshly sliced pears also taste good as toppings. Make sure to refrigerate the focaccia for at least 12 hours in the fridge, the secret to any good tasting focaccia!
