This is easy, and makes your kitchen smell yummy,...I'm making a second loaf right now. I did add garlic and salt, as well as the rosemary to the olive oil, and let it soak while the bread was rising.

Easy & delicious. I, too, followed the suggestions for sprinkling the top with sea salt in addition to the rosemary & olive oil.

I added sea salt and garlic before cooking. It came out pretty good considering the short amount of time it took to prepare. The presentation was also beautiful.

I did not enjoy this recipe as much as the other reviewers. The bread was dry and bland even with a litle olive oil, rosemary, and ground sea salt on top. Intead of taking on a dense chewy texture it had more of a grainy mealy feel to it. I think it could be improved by adding some spices directly into the bread and with the addition of some grains to ad interesting texture.

This was absolutely fantastic!! Highly recommended. Much simpler than the other foccacia recipes I've found on here (and cheaper, too, when you start thinking of the costs of spices, especially if you don't already have them at your disposal). I added sea salt as well, although I stubbed my toe a bit on it. Still delicious because it was easy to scrape the sea salt off. A few reviewers noted that you won't need all that flour...I think I may have used more! (probably because I didn't really know what I was doing, I'm still a newbie in the kitching and wasn't sure what "until dough pulls away from side of bowl" meant --I now think it means a thick and heavy consistency, not so liquidy). To sum it up: YUMMMMMM!!!!!!

The taste of the bread is great - make sure you use all of the seasonings. I added some to suit my family's love of spices. The exception for this recipe: you should knead it very well, to obtain the yeast like texture, or the bread stays very doughlike. I have made serval times, and recommend it.

Nice and fragrant. Perfect. I added rosemary to the flour before i added the liquid so that the rosemary is in the bread, and i mixed rosemary, garlic and olive oil and leave them to stand for a while, while i am making the dough. Brushed this mixture on and bread baked it. Pls do adjust the quantities of the olive oil mixture to suit your liking. But would like to say its wonderful.

Very yummy bread. I used it as a pizza crust and toped it with sun-dried tomatoes and cheese. Delicious!

This bread was really yummy and easy to make. It took less then an hour to put together, and went great with the spaghetti that I made for dinner. I did make a few changes. I added garlic and parmesan cheese to the top, as well as the rosemary. I thought it needed more salt, so next time, I will sprinkle some kosher salt on as well.

A very thick loaf if not rolled into a large rectangle. The dough is perfect. I added thinly sliced red onion and fresh garlic before baking.

This bread was very good, and takes less time than most. I added some grated parmesean cheese to the top for the last 10 minutes of baking and it was wonderful!! Serve with olive oil & balsamic vinegar for dipping.

Loved it, even the picky kids! Truly don't need all the flour, 2 cups was enough even on a humid day. We also added the course salt and used olive oil with cracked pepper for dipping.

Since I didn't have any dried rosemary, I just used some fresh sprigs from my garden and placed them in the poked holes (which I just poked with my finger, more fun that way!) Turned out well.

The bread has a nice taste, however, it doesn't seem to have the true focaccia consistency.

This is a simple, delicious bread that is loved my kids as well as adults. I sometimes make it and serve it with herbed olive oil as an appetizer. Delicious.
