Garden Herb Focaccia

I'm so tired I forgot to post the tastiest part of my day. I made this bread in the bread machine today. The recipe was from my Better Homes and Gardens book. It was wonderful. It might even be my new favorite bread. Try it, it is mighty good!

1 cup milk
1/2 cup sliced green onions
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon bottled minced garlic
3 cups bread flour
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoon fresh oregano or 1/2 teaspoon dried
2 teaspoon fresh thyme or 1/2 teaspoon dried
2 teaspoon fresh sage or 1/2 teaspoon dried
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon active dry yeast or bread machine yeast
-----------------------
2 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons fresh thyme or 1/2 dried

1. Add the first 11 ingredients to the machine according to the manufacturer's directions. Select the dough cycle. When cycle is complete, remove dough. Punch down. Cover and let rest for 10 min.

2. Divide the dough in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion into a 12 inch circle (I made them rectangles). Transfer each circle to a greased large baking sheet or 12 in pizza pan. Brush the circles with the 2 tablespoons olive oil. Using a fork, prick the entire surface of each circle several times. Sprinkle with the extra thyme. Do not let rise.

3. Bake in a 400 degree oven for 11-13 minutes or until golden brown. Transfer to wire racks. Serve warm or cool.
