This sounds good and easy! I've never made one with lemon juice! When I heard the title, I thought it was cooked in the pan, ontop of the stove! LOL! Looks good too! Thanks Keni!


Perfectly simple. Simply perfect.


Focaccia is a wonderful bread and your recipe sounds great. I make mine in a sheet pan I will have to try using a cast iron pan next time.
Five forks and a smile :)

This is really a good one, Keni. Keep em comin'.


VERY GOOD! We loved this! Especially hubby who made an olive oil herb dip (like Zio's) to dip it in! We polished off 3/4 of the thing just between the 3 of us (one being 4, lol)! Thanks Keni!
