DIRECTIONS
In large bowl, combine 2 cups flour, undissolved yeast and salt.

Divide dough into 6 equal pieces. Roll each to 4 x 5-inch oval.
Sprinkle 2 large baking sheets with cornmeal. Place dough pieces on sheets. Sprinkle each piece with 1 T roasted pepper and 1/4 tsp. rosemary. Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 30 to 45 minutes. Bake at 400°F for 12 to 15 minutes or until done.
Warm remaining 1 T honey; drizzle on top of focaccias. Remove from sheets; cool on wire rack.
