Whole Wheat and Rosemary Focaccia Bread

This is such a quick bread.
I don't get the time to bake bread like I use to.
And- I don't eat it as much as I use to.
In my family bread was king. We love the smell the taste the butter.......warm.
Sigh, we love bread.
My father was convinced that white bread was an abomination.
And would compare it to eating Library paste.
He thought that the peasants were lucky to have the whole grains while the royalty ate the processed stuff. He was a real snob when it came to food. He never ate fast food. He thought a piece of cardboard was better then a burger from McDonald's.
I begged him when McDonald's first opened to take us there. I was positive it would be great. He would say. " Just let me put Catchup and Mustard on a piece of cardboard, it will taste the same".
My mother finally took us to McDonald's and My thought was , "he is right"! I never developed a taste for fast food.
thank Goodness
