Very yummy. I've made this several times over the last year. It's almost too flavorful with all the toppings. I usually make it plain with just the olive oil and maybe some rosemary. I cut back on the salt because I knew it'd be too much w/ the parm & olives, but when making it more plain, I use the full amount. I think people are having trouble with the rise because of the salt amount. Salt usually makes the rise slower. If you allow for a longer rise though, you'll be rewarded (1.5 to 2 hours...until an indentation remains rather than popping back out and then 30 min. for the rest time so it can rise again before baking. One friend said it was the best foccacia she'd ever had.

This was just ok.... way to much sugar in the dough and if your looking for that authentic focaccia taste, find a different recipe.

This dough is the best dough I have ever had! Putting the olive oil on the outside gives it a nice crisp, but the inside is so soft and chewy. I will be trying this as a pizza dough! My new go to dough recipe

I am making it as I write this. But why 3.5 to 4 cups of flour? Can't you make up your mind? I is also better to go with weight. Bakers need to be accurate with the measurement. The recipe sounds simple. But the bread did not rise. If I try again, I would let it rest for another hour prior to baking it.

I also don't have a stand mixer, but I do have a bread machine so I used the "dough" setting to do the kneading and rising--thanks hunterhall for the idea. I put the liquids in the first: foamy yeast mix + 2 tsp salt--reduced from 1 Tbsp--dissolved in 2 Tbsp water + 1/4 cup olive oil. Then I put 3 1/2 cups of all purpose flour on top and started the dough cycle. It turned out to be too much flour so I had to add an extra 1/4 cup of water. Next time I will try only 3 cups of flour. The dough still turned out great! After the onion was done cooking I mixed the minced garlic in with it to make it easier to spread evenly on top. Then mixed the dry toppings together and sprinkled them over the rest. I used only 1 tsp of salt on top and I think it was still too much-next time I won't use any salt in the topping. Not all dough recipes work with a bread machine, so I'm glad this one does. Super easy and super delicious! I look forward to experimenting with other toppings.

The salt is way to high especially with the Parmesan. I would not salt it at all and just use the parmesan for the salt flavoe other than that this is a real SUPER winner

Fantastic!!! Very tasty, and well-received by all of my friends. Using the dough hook makes this so easy, too. Might have to make another one today because yesterday's loaf is all gone. Nom nom nom

This is my favorite focaccia recipe. I make this focaccia weekly but change up the toppings. I DO NOT own a stand mixer but still make this recipe because its so easy. Only thing I suggest is hand kneading it for a full 15 minutes.
