Focaccia Bread
I used my no knead artisan bread recipe
3 cups flour
1 tsp yeast
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 cup very warm water
Mix all then cover with plastic wrap and let rise 6-18 hours. Knead a few times then drizzle olive oil into skillet or cookie sheet. Roll the dough in the olive oil and stretch to fill the pan. Poke holes into the dough. Brush with 1/2 cup melted butter, garlic, rosemary, and salt to taste. Bake for 20-30 minutes without lid in skillet or at 450 for 25-35 minutes in oven. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup grated parmesan during last minute of baking.
Remove from pan and let cool completely. Cut into squares or strips
Chocolate Trifle
Make 1 9x13 pan of brownies (a boxed mix holds up best in this recipe). Cool completely. Cut into 1 1/2 inch squares.
Melt 1 cube butter with 1 giant sized Hershey bar
Mix 1 quart (2 pints) whipped cream
Layer brownies, melted chocolate, then whipped cream and repeat
Top with shaved chocolate
