I wish you could smell this mouthwatering focaccia bread. I had to pinch myself while I was making it because I thought I was in a bakery. I used my new Emeril Lagasse Cast Iron Skillet that I got from Sam’s Club to make this Easy Skillet Focaccia Bread and it turned out great! It has a nice crust on the outside and stayed soft on the inside. I used sun-dried tomatoes and fresh rosemary along with a liberal amount of sea salt on top. But you can use just about any combination of herbs, olives, nuts or spices.

I used to shy away from making bread, but this is so easy and it comes right out of the pan with no sticking at all. The silicone handles on my new pan make it even safer shielding my hands from high heat. But here’s my dilemma…my family loved this recipe so much that I’ll be baking bread every day from now on. I guess that’s not really a bad thing!

10. The dough should be spread out in the skillet.
11. Poke the dough with your finger to make little dimples all over the top.

I used a stand mixer with a dough hook to mix the dough, but you can also do this by hand.
