I am here to confirm that this recipe is very easy and it works👍👍

I’m not one to comment on YouTube videos, but to followed this recipe for my first time every hanging a go at bread making and it turned out AMAZING. My husband ate half the loaf as soon as I pulled it out of the oven. Can’t wait to play with different flavors!

I am Mrs. Doug Tucker and just followed your video and recipe and my focaccia came out golden brown. I baked it for 18 minutes via Convection and addes Kalamata olives. I purchased the William and Sonoma cake pan and a gem. I am planning a dinner party and will also serve you Chicken Parmesan and your Zucchini casserole dish to accompany this Focaccia!!!!

Can we talk about how amazing the presentation is?!Omg, everything looked so professional, like as if i'm watching an episode from a tv show!

Made this today...while it's very time consuming, IT'S SO WORTH IT! My entire family loved it and we almost ate it all at dinner. Make this!

[venessagourd]

Making this foccacia right now... I've made it many times before but I just can't get enough of this delicious goodness!! Even had a weekend getaway with a bunch of couples and taught all the women how to make this recipe while playing games and enjoying wine and we had bread and dip to snack on all weekend! Everyone topped theirs a little different so we got to sample a little bit of everyone's and we were very close to a fresh olive oil infusion / Balsamic vinegar shop so we all bought a few bottles and it made it that much more diverse and fun! Great weekend! Great recipe!

I made this exactly as written and this as is, bar none, the best Focaccia I ever ate anywhere. It needs a lazy afternoon when you'll be home to do the dough stretching, etc., but the outcome is top shelf, truly. It is soft and moist inside, with lots of air bubbles, and the crusts on either side are crispy and crunchy to cut into. Don't skip good finishing salt on top - I added mine after the bake simply because I forgot to add before. It was and is DELICOUS! With crusts off, sliced horizontally it yields eight, 4x3" rectangles for superb Italian sammies. But, truth to tell, next time I might bake it, slice into fingers, and just eat the damned thing dipped in EVOO and Balsamic. FYI, my dough looked wetter, slacker, and stickier than Natasha's through the whole process, but in the end it was just terrific. Thanks Natasha for this great share!

That dough is resting more than me as human being 🥲

[tommiharrell]

I've made this several times now. It turns out perfect every time and everyone in the family LOVES it. The fresh rosemary makes the whole house smell so good!! Such a great recipe!

[dianahristakieva]

I am making focaccia two days in a row. The first try wasn't successful, I have to add that it was different recipe. But this one is simply THE BEST! My family loved it. Thank you, Natasha!

[skeeskeedo]

Hands down the best foccacia ever! I am italian and have been making foccacia for years. I never could quite get it, there is this really good Italian restaurant nearby that I go to and their foccacia is amazing and this one was a spitting image of it! I also mixed thyme and salted butter to make an amazing butter for it (not like it needs it though). Thank you for this recipe!!!!

[kaaryntaylor]

I tried this recipe for the first time today, using 100% whole wheat flour (+ a little extra warm water) - I made 2 batches and they turned out beautifully and deliciously. (Measured 470g of whole wheat flour, baked at 450 degrees, 22 minutes, nice and crispy) Thank you for sharing this recipe - God BLESS you 🙏

[tammararounds]

I have made this bread twice already in a weeks time and it's amazing, I have been trying to find a recipe of focaccia bread that my husband actually likes and this is IT...I love ALL your recipes.Thank you

[countlesskids]

It is so delicious!!

I added rosmary, roasted garlic, olive oil, cherry tomatoes, and kosher salt.

Even my little picky eater loved it!!!

[aliyahzalme]

Never heard of focaccia, but I’m excited to try it!!

[Jade-K]

I just made this recipe for the second time. Used 25% whole wheat flour+ caramelized onions on top before dimpling. OMG....out of this world! THANK

[MelindaEng]

Just an FYI to anyone who makes this recipe. I made it two ways, measured out 470 grams flour and the next time I used my measuring cups. 2 very different amounts of flour, and if you use the grams, you'll actually have a wetter dough. 3 level cups of flour is about 470 with the flour I use ( Brand: Wheat Montana Farms & Bakery's Natural White Premium All Purpose Flour)

[robinp]

made this last night/yesterday and it was absolutely delicious - added some black olives/crispy onion biits and rosemary/garlic - THE BEST and not hard to do LOVE IT - thx for this recipe

[clematis]

I just made this today for the first time, and followed Natasha‘s recipe exactly with the exception of adding a bit more rosemary. It turned out perfectly! Thank you for such a wonderful recipe, and I’m going to make this again and again.

[cameo_bitpart]

Another Home Run Natasha! I made this earlier tonight and it was a hit! Only difference, instead of the Garlic and Rosemary topping, I went with caramelized onions, sliced pears, blue cheese crumbles, and thin sliced blue cheese bratwurst. But the Focaccia bread I followed your recipe to a T and it was wonderful! Thank you for another great recipe I'll be using again.
