I didn't have any garlic bread and you simply cannot have a Italian pasta without garlic bread.
I decided to make my own. Actually a focaccia.
*First measure out 1 1/4 cups flour into a bowl..
then add one packet of yeast, pour in about 1 cup of warm water.., teaspoon of salt and some olive oil...
*Mix with an electric mixer for about 3 minutes on low
*Add in 2 more cups of flour.
*Dump out onto a floured surface and get busy..kneading away. For at least 10 minutes. And yes your arms will get totally sore and you'll want to throw in the towel and say the hell with this, but don't! This turned out really good..so keep going!
*After that put into a lightly greased bowl and cover..set somewhere warm for about an hour or until doubled in size.
*Take dough out and punch down.
*Divide dough and set on a cookie sheet and cover for another 10 minutes..
*Meanwhile..slice up a bunch of onion and garlic and put in a saute pan with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and saute until golden brown.
*Next take dough and press it out in a circle. Then with your index and middle fingers make indention's all over the surface..
*Then brush on some olive oil
*Spread on half of the onion/garlic mixture
*Sprinkle on rosemary
*Add some Parmesan
*Set aside for another 20 minutes until it doubles in size again.
*Pop in a 375 degree oven for 25 minutes
*Cool on a cooling rack.
*I sliced mine up into pieces..easier for little hands to soak up some marinara sauce.
*Enjoy

That looks fab. I bet the whole house smelled so good.
Wow that bread looks awesome! I have a couple packs of yeast that I bought awhile back but I have not been adventurous enough to try it out yet!

This looks scrumptious! We've been fooling around a bit with flavored breads - we'll definitely have to give this one a try!
