Sun-Dried Tomato and Basil Focaccia image

I found this recipe at Robin Hood - The focaccia dough can be made the day ahead. Simply refrigerate after kneading, Bring to room temperature for about 1 hour before punching down dough and proceeding with recipe. Use sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil for this recipe. If you can only get dry packed tomatoes, soak in warm water for 10 minutes before proceeding with recipe.

This focaccia was a bit too oily for my taste. I think I'll try using less olive oil next time.

This focaccia is a great way to use up leftover sun-dried tomatoes. It's also a great bread to serve with soup or salad.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my focaccia turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This focaccia was a hit at my last party! Everyone loved the combination of sun-dried tomatoes and basil, and the bread itself was light and fluffy. I'll definitely be making this again.
