Parmesan and Herb Focaccia

You know those moments where you almost wish you could've done something earlier, and almost had? I almost made this focaccia a lot earlier in the day - instead I waited for it to come hot out of the oven for when Ricky got home. I'm so glad I didn't make it earlier! Now Focaccia will always have a brand new meaning for me, and it's all cause he popped the question! (I said yes!) 

I'm not sure if every Parmesan and Herb Focaccia baked will get a marriage popping question for you, but you can always make this for when you want to be married to a savory and delicious bread!
