Leftover Roast on Focaccia

The best Sunday dinner is roast and potatoes and rolls, but even better is using the leftover roast for a sandwich! And my sister in law came up with the greatest idea to use homemade focaccia bread for the sandwich.

First, the Roast:
We usually sear the roast in butter, then cook some onions in the pan afterward and throw it all in the crockpot. Add some water and a few seasonings (salt, pepper, cumin, garlic powder, etc) and let it cook as long as possible. An hour or so before it's done, shred the meat and let it sit in all the juices for a bit.

Focaccia Bread
Put the following in to the bread machine in this order:
1 c lukewarm water
1 t sugar
1 1/2 t salt
1/3 c olive oil
2 1/2 c flour
1 t dried basil
1 t rosemary
2 t yeast
Set to dough. When done roll out, cover with towel and let rise at least 40 min. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Bake at 425 for 15 min.

We add cheddar cheese, tomatoes, mayo, and avocado to our sandwiches.
