Herbed Focaccia
Randy Mayor
The coarse texture of kosher salt provides a wonderful crunch and salty burst on this focaccia, reminiscent of a big, soft pretzel. Kosher salt comes in a large box found next to the salt and spices in your supermarket. It takes a bit of work to knead in the herbs, but be persistent so they are well-distributed.
