Majkl is showing in this video how to prepare the amazing Focaccia bread. Each region in Italy has its own version of recipe, including their own toppings. Majkl likes Focaccia al rosmarino. Fresh herbs are used in this focaccia. This focaccia makes a perfect antipasti, and is ideally served with dips. Majkl likes the following two dips:
