- Put holes on the dough using your 3 fingers at regular intervals, and spread the prepared onion and thyme topping evenly over it and keep aside in a warm place for 15 minutes.
- Bake in a pre-heated oven at 200°c (400°f) for 25 minutes or until the focaccia is golden brown in colour.
- Cut into 8 equal sized wedges and serve hot.

Onion and Thyme Focaccia.. This bread is so tempting while it was getting baked.. the flavour of onion and thyme is just too good.. the onions have caramalized.. giving it a sweet taste to the bread.. This is a must try recipe..
