This was my first time EVER making focaccia and it turned out AMAZING! but i did change some things, i didnt cover it a 2nd time, i put olive oil on the pan before i put down the dough, i put sea salt, rosemary, and garlic on one half and just sea salt on the other. I used to live in italy and seriously- it was sooooo close to the real thing :)

I made two batches and niether batch rose at all. The taste was good but I was very disappointed that it didn't rise.

First of all, I just want to say that if you accidentally put the whole 1/4 cup of olive oil in the bread dough like I did the bread will still turn out. I did that while distracted (3 kids 3 and under will do that to you) and was out of flour to make more so I gave it a shot and it was still really good. I added 1 tsp. each of garlic powder and onion powder and 2 tsp. of Italian seasoning and only baked for 25 minutes which was perfect. My husband loved it. I'll try it next time with the right amount of oil, I'm sure it will be even better.

Too much olive oil made this way too greasy to enjoy.

Delicious, but I only gave it 4 stars because the baking time is WAY too long! My first batch came out hard and too crusty. I looked at other recipes and baked my second batch for 17-20 minutes and it was wonderful. Very easy dough making, too.

YUM!! This is one of the easiest yet tastiest bread recipes out there! Followed the recipe pretty closely. I did add some garlic powder and herbs to the dough after I read the reviews and will probably do it again next time. Was a little (ok a LOT) more liberal with the parmesan. I was concerned the dough was too sticky (much stickier then typical bread dough) but I baked it anyways and it turned out perfect. Husband LOVED it. 5 star recipe!

My tips. I let it rise for the 1st 30 minutes in the oven, out for the rest of the time. First I turn it on low for a few minutes then turn it off . also I don't use the 13x9 pan. I put it on a large cookie sheet covered with parchment paper. It makes a large round loaf. It's great for dipping in olive oil or better yet a Basel garlic dipping oil . I've try other grated cheeses like Pecorino Romano. yummy!

This turned out great! I served it with an eggplant bake. We dipped it in olive oil with parm cheese and Italian seasoning in it. I might add a little garlic to the dough next time, but it was great as it was! Nice change from ordinary bread.

This really was easy. I've only made bread one other time and this turned out really well. My only problem was that it stuck to the pan- even though it was well oiled. I did add tons of extra seasoning and next time I'll add even more.

This is a household favorite, I always keep these ingredients on hand! I put minced garlic and herbs in the dough as well as on top of the bread, and serve it with extra virgin olive oil, minced garlic, Italian herbs and Parmesan cheese. It's great as an appetizer, and also for a snack when guests come over! So yummy, and so easy.
