Made this recipe as given except I used half whole wheat flour. I was satisfied with the outcome but next time I will probably mix fresh pressed garlic into the butter instead of using garlic powder. It was easy to make and turned out a very basic, very adequate bread with a nice texture. No raves but no complaints either. I can see why others are using it as a pizza crust recipe.

Everyone really loved this. I would add a little more salt to the dough next time, or sprinkle kosher salt on top. Really fast and easy. Sprayed oil on top and then topped with parmesan and fresh rosemary and diced garlic, will add garlic to dough as well. Would brush with butter as suggested.

This recipe I will definatey use again! I never managed to make a good foccacia, this bread is a wonderful alternative. I was very surprised my dough wasn't sticky at all. But I didn't use fresh garlic at first. When I added the garlic, the dough became sticky! So I suppose it's the garlic which makes it sticky. My first one was a little bland, so I sprinkled some sea salt on top, yummm. On the second one, I put some halved cherry tomatoes, yuummmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Again, the dough wasn't sticky at all. I didn't even have to use any extra flour to roll out the dough, amazing!! I let rise it for at least one hour. I will experiment a lot with this recipe I think.

I'm rating this recipe on taste and workability. The finished product's taste and texture was wonderful! I added minced garlic to the dough at the very end and dried oregano after putting on the cheeses. My daughter is gobbling it up. The workability of this recipe, however!!!! I threw the ingredients into the bread machine on the pizza dough cycle and when it was done I had a bowl of soup. I needed to add a good cup of flour to make it even remotely workable, and it was still sticky. I also had to scrape the thick layer of residue off my kitchen table. Also, there was way too much butter. Maybe 1/3 cup is necessary if you work with some spreadable ingredient like margarine, but with melted butter, I ended throwing out half of it. While the finished product is soft and delicious, I greatly did not appreciate the inaccurate list of measurements.

Per the review of Toasty Mama Took the advice of several other reviewers and added 6 cloves minced garlic to the dough. Dough was a little sticky and I did add about an additional 1/2 of flour overall to keep it manageable. Also greased pan with olive oil and then sprinkled some cornmeal to keep it from sticking and poked holes in dough. Changed butter spread to 1/2 olive oil, 1/2 butter 1/2 tsp oregano and a clove of garlic and spread on the dough. Then from BATMAN BEYOND's review of Parmesian Foccacia Bread (a bread machine recipe) which suggested chopping a fresh tomato - I used two small ones and some fresh basil as well - and saute in just a little olive oil with some fresh garlic salt. Then sprinkled the tomato mixture over the butter/olive oil spread on the dough. Lastly sprinkle on the parmesian cheese and bake. I used the same temp, but it took about 10 minutes longer to bake and set up in the middle. So good!

I made this bread this afternoon and it was quite good. I added 2 cloves of minced garlic to the bread as well as a little Italian seasoning. I would have liked a more potent garlic flavor (garlic powder would have probably done that--just like the recipe said!). The bread was super easy to make, had a great texture, and we thought it was very yummy. I definitely will be making this bread again.

I have already made this twice since finding the recipe. This is very good and pretty easy to make, especially considering I don't bake that much. I liked the recipe because I already had all the ingredients, but it still turned into something special. I thought it was pretty garlic-y, which I love! I served with jarred marinara for dipping. Yum!

4 stars for a great flat bread but I felt this recipe needed more flavor. I made it twice. Both times the dough came out perfect. Someone mentioned that this dough should be a "wet" dough and sticky and not to add more flour. That advice was perfect. I just made sure I had enough flour to roll with and on my hands so it wasn't to hard to work with. The first time I made it I put in 2 cloves of crushed garlic in the dough while kneeding it instead of using the powder and it wasn't enough. It was still a nice flat bread. The 2nd time I added 4 cloves and used about 1tbs of garlic powder and it was more flavorful I also left the cheese off until it was about a minute from being done and I brushed it with butter and then put on the cheese and cooked one minute and took it out of oven and let it melt while it rested. I liked it much better that way, then what the original recipe calls for.

(Originally reviewed 25 March 2008 -edited for spelling) I did not have any bread flour, so I simply used 2 cups plain flour and added in 4tsp of vital wheat gluten. In reading the reviews, alot of people noted that the dough was sticky and that they added in extra flour, perhaps they are not aware, but this type of dough is considered a "Batter yeast dough" - this means it will be sticky, and you should NOT add any extra flour, except for perhaps a small sprinkling of flour for the area in which you end up kneading the dough. Instead of plain butter, I used a butter that already had garlic & herbs mixed into it, and then I used fresh grated parmesan, and a 6 italian cheese blend plus additional mozzarella cheese. I also added some garlic powder and italian seasoning into the yeast dough. My husband was impressed, he thought that it was comparable to a foccacia that we normally buy at a local delicatessen.

This is really good. I would like to try it for a pizza crust sometime just to see how it would be compared to what I'm using now. One word of advice, make sure you bake in the oven in a pan with sides! The butter will run off and make for a very smokey house!! I won't do that aain!
