i usually make italian bread when i make italian food, but my boyfriend asked me to make this every time instead! it's absolutely delicious bread, and doesn't take as long to make as most breads seem to.

very good bread and not hard to make @ all:) I'm a pretty good cook but not much of a baker BUT this bread turned out fabulous! I usually don't even attempt bread but my hubby had a sandwich on focaccia and asked if we could have it @ home. I'm soo glad that I found this recipe! Thanks for sharing!

Really good! It seemed to take about twice as long to rise both times than it said it should, but maybe it was because it was really cold here the day I made it. None the less it was delish and my whole family loved it...especially my 16 month old son. He wouldn't put his piece down.

I use oregano instead of rosemary and mix it in my bread machine on the dough cycle then follow the directions from #3.

This turned out really well. It was a tad too salty for me...I think next time I'll use 1 1/2 t salt. I also omitted the Parmesan to make it vegan and sprinkled the top with sea salt, Italian seasoning and freshly ground pepper. Great recipe! It's easy to modify.

This was so delish! Very light and chewy. I didn't use the rosemary b/c I didn't have any and I used mozzerella instead of the parmesan. It came out so good.

This was very good! I started it in my breadmaker (just because I was too busy to hand mix and knead it). I know that focaccia starts with a rather wet dough, but it was still TOO wet, so I added 3 TBL of each type of flour to the machine during the knead cycle. The first rise on my machine lasts for an hour, which was unnecessary - it had doubled within 30 minutes. Followed the rest of the recipe exactly, and it was gobbled up by my family. The kids had it as "bread", DH and I used it for grilled veggie sandwiches...YUMMMY!! Next time, however, I will try forming it on a pizza peel, then slide it onto a preheated baking stone, as the bottom crust was too soft and very pale. I think the pan of hot water under the baking sheet prevented even browning. But it was very tasty....leftovers for me today! YAY!

Really good recipe. I altered it a little by combining crushed fresh garlic to top and put on a little more parmesan cheese. My family gobbled it up!

Followed the recipe except I used all purpose flour. It was very easy and had a really nice texture. Next time I might add garlic or try some different herbs.

This was delicious! I had never made focaccia before so was a bit nervous, but it turned out great. The only thing I changed was reducing the rosemary and Parmesan. 1 tbsp. of each was enough for me, but that is just preference.

very good--I did change the spice to a dry dill mix. Not sure I let the top get brown enough, but it sure tastes good!

The first 2 times I made this with instant yeast & both times were excellent. However, the 3rd time I used active dry yeast. I had to wait longer for the yeast to activate & rise. In addition, I had to add an extra 1/2 cup of both bread & all purpose flour. Definitely recommend instant yeast over active dry yeast for keep it simple & to cut time. Regardless, my family really enjoys this bread!

This was a great recipe, I was a little skeptical because of how wet the dough was, but it turned out really great. I used a garlic/herb spice mix and Parmesan on the bread instead of rosemary.

This turned out really good. I forgot to add any olive oil to the dough itself but it was still very good. I brushed mine with a mixture of olive oil and a little butter, kosher salt, dried Italian herbs, and parmesan cheese. I am going to make it again tonight and try it as a pizza dough!

Really didn't care for this. I followed it exactly and thought it was really bland. I would add a LOT more spices, or maybe it would work as a pizza crust.

excellent! Make sure and use milk instead of water; traditionally, Italian breads use milk for their liquid.

This is the BEST focaccia - I made it tonight and it was devoured within minutes :D Very easy to make, tastes SO good and has the perfect focaccia texture. I sprinkled a little sea salt over the top of the bread before baking it and it was AMAZING. This one will be on my weekly bread-baking list from now on!!!

everyone loved it (family). but the next time I prepare the dough, I wouldn't aim to let it rise twice. And that direction of "hot water in a pan underneath" never seems to work out. Parmesan was an awesome aromatic and flavorful addition to the bread's top.

This dough was really sticky. I followed the recipe but I kept having to add more and more flour... so much that I thought I had done something wrong. But maybe this is just how bread making is... I am a novice. Once I got the dough to the right consistency, I followed the recipe except I added some oregano, parsley and sage.... I also worked the spices and cheese into the dough as well as on top. The bread was really delicious. I'll make again with the knowledge that perhaps more flour that what is called for is necessary.

Very good. Didin't add parm to make it for vegan friends, will if it's just us in the future. Only problem was it really didn't rise well, either the first or second times. My yeast are getting older, maybe that was the problem. I will definitely make again. Went well with bruschetta and pesto dips, or on its own.. Update: made again just as above and it rose great, since I found out my water had been too hot and killed my yeast. Turned down the water heater after I found that our
