wwwwwooooooooooooooooowwwwww!!!!!!!! OMG!! This was fantastic. So, so, good. Thankyou for submitting this recipe. I have a bread machine, so I make yeast recipes quite often and I KNOW by sight and touch when a dough reaches "soft" - it's when it all comes together and feels like a cloud, so it took about 5 minutes in the machine, then I put it in an oiled bowl, let it double, punched it down, spread it out with oily fingers and spread dried rosemary, garlic salt and parmesan. The garlic salt made sure there was lots of flavour. Next time I would use half garlic powder/ half garlic salt. The tray of boiling water beneath makes this so delicious. I added the salt to the dough last so it wouldn't kill the yeast and used bread flour and all purpose like the recipe says. The texture of the cooked dough was incredible!!! I will be making this for Xmas lunch to go with the meal with a nice ranch sauce.

I make this all the time. It was a very impressive contribution to a fancy July 4th BBQ I went to. No one could believe I made it myself. I've done tons of variations with the toppings. My family's favorite is my pizza version, topped with crushed tomato, oregano and mozzarella.

My search for a great recipe for soft billowy tender foccacia is now over! I wanted to duplicate the texture of the inch high rounds of soft foccacia you find at the market. I didn't push the dough into the corners of the 15x11 pan but rather rough shaped it into a large high oval before the final rise and it turned out a beautiful loaf. If you are looking for foccacia with a crisp crust and a chewy interior, this probably isn't the recipe you want. Great recipe - thanks!

This bread was okay, a little to doughy for me, it didn't get light and fluffy, it was pretty dense and doughy.

This turned out beautifully. Added a tiny sprinkle of kosher salt over the top of the bread with the parmesan and rosemary. Better than most focaccia I've ever had in restaurants.

I have made this in a few variations. I have used wheat flour. I have put cheese in the bread. and I have put chunks of roasted garlic in the bread. A 1/2 - 1 cup of cheese makes this bread rich but a little doughy.

This was a great hit at my dinner party. And it really is EASY. I added minced garlic, minced fresh rosemary and thyme to the flour mixture, used all-purpose for all of the flour, put rosemary, thyme and parmesan on top - I oiled the board and my hands with olive oil to work the dough, floured the dough just a little while handling it and was careful not to over knead. It was really perfect.

Fantastic basic recipe that can be tweaked in all sorts of ways!! This last time I added 1 teaspoon onion powder, 2 teaspoons garlic powder, 1 oz finely grated Parmesan cheese and 1 to 2 tablespoons freshly chopped rosemary to the dough. I also heated the olive oil and steeped some fresh rosemary to put on the top of the bread along with the cheese. I do like a little kosher salt on the top as well. I'll make this recipe over and over again tweaking it to match my meal. I've now also substituted the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour and the recipe works just as well.

Absolutely wonderful, I just can't make it fast enough to keep up with my husband's demands. And so easy to make too, this was my first attempt at yeast bread!

As a Focaccia lover, but not willing to spend the 3 or 4 bucks the store tags it, this is a real winner with me! I've made this several times now, and have since started mixing cheese into the dough. Grated asiago, parmesan, pecorino, etc. This makes excellent sandwiches also, with smoked turkey, brie, tangy sauces, the sky's the limit! Thanks!

Really, really good! This reminds me of Pizza Hut's deep dish pizza crust. In fact, I may use it for pizza crust in the future. I baked it in a jellyroll pan and it was plenty thick. This is delicious dipped in olive oil with a splash of balsamic vinegar and a grind of black pepper.

This recipe was awesome. It was so good we did not wait for dinner and ate it straight away at 4pm. I read all the reviews first and I put 1 tsp each of garlic powder, thyme, oregano, marjoram, sage and 1 Tbs of fresh basil as I had no dried. I used a plasic container and put all the herbs, and flour in it. I used 2 cups plain flour and 1 cup Wholemeal flour. In a small metal bowl I had put 7g dried yeast and warm water, salt and sugar and covered with clingwrap for about 10mins. I then added to flour mixture and used a bread hook with mixer. This recipe was just like it said it would be. It had a beautiful crust on the outside and soft on the inside. I can't belive that I made this, thanks James and everyone else for reviews

This was a pretty good recipe. I followed the recipe as written since this was my first time making bread. I'm a big foccacia fan and this recipe was fairly tasty. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 is because nothing compares to the foccacia bread served at Ryan's in Honolulu. Will definitely make the recipe again.

This recipe was awesome! I've never made focaccia, and this turned out perfect and delicous... I even scaled the recipe down to 2/3 and it came out great, which sometimes doesn't happen with yeast-dough recipes. Because I was craving a cheesey-oniony fix, I decided to go a different route with the seasonings than the recipe called for, but I can tell that if I had just followed it exactly, the bread would have been great, too. What I did first with spicing the dough up was add two thinly sliced garlic cloves and a heavy pinch of each of rosemary, thyme, basil and oregano into the "well", after the yeast had activated, then mixed as per the directions. Then when it was time shape the dough and poke the holes, I I topped the round with sauteed onion slices, a generous sprinkling of emmental cheese and a bit of dried basil for color. I followed the rest of the recipes directions and the bread was simply to die for! My husband and I had some with spaghetti, but I wound up finishing the whole round up all by myself the next day... it was just so good. And, I think the pan of water in the oven was the ticket to duplicating restaurant-style focaccia perfection! Thanks for sharing this super easy and very versatile recipe!!!
