Focaccia Bread with Rosemary

[gasher]

after letting the dough rise the first time, i threw 8 - 10 sun dried tomatoes (chopped) and 15 black olives (whole) in there.. oh man. it makes for a lumpy, scary-looking bread, but it tasted great!

This is a super successful bread! I bake it once a week now, very presentable and delicious, it stays soft overnight as well, not sure about any longer as its gone after that... I usually put a ring of either black or stuff sliced olives round the top before the rosemary goes on.  Thanks so much for a fantastic recipe...

After reading the great reviews on this recipe, I decided to go out on a limb and triple the quantity to make three different flavors.  The results were fantastic!  As suggested, I made one round with rosemary and one round with sundried tomatoes packed in olive oil.  I made the third bread with chopped garlic.  After removing from the oven, I topped all three with a pinch of Kosher salt and a generous swirl of olive oil. Very good!  Thanks for the recipe.

This bread really is amazing. I know I've already posted that, but tonight's baking warrented another. It's so good! I experimented a bit and I used 3/4 tsp yeast and 1/2 cup AP flour with 1 1/2 c. whole wheat flour. It was fantastic .

Yum! I made this bread using half whole wheat flour and half all-purpose flour. I ended up adding about 1/2 cup of extra flour when kneading it. I also used dried oregano and basil, fresh basil leaves, artichoke hearts, and sun-dried tomatoes for the topping instead of rosemary. It came out perfect! Delicious!

i only had white pastry flour, and had to use a tonne more, but it worked out in the end,  only cakier, almost scone texture-- would be nice with olive tapenade -- i'll try it again with normal flour for sure, and will try the variations suggested above.
came out of the pan real clean, by the way! i was afraid it might stick...

This is a great recipe!!! I've made it atleast 10 times and it goes quickly every time. I've also subbed half of the flour serving with whole wheat flour and it turned out good as well...

This recipe is always a crowd pleaser.  I always have to use 3 cups whole spelt, instead of 2, to get the dough the right consistency.

GREAT recipe. the dough came together very well.

i like a lot of toppings so i make my focaccia almost like pizzaa adding tomato, onion, black olives and rosemary for thyme.

This is a good bread. It's not like regular focaccia (at least mine didn't turn out that way), in that it is a bit more like a loaf bread. I used whole wheat pastry flour, and had to add more than 2 cups, but ended up adding too much more...so I had to add more oil and water! The dough came out pretty nicely though. I suggest adding some rosemary (or something) to the actual dough..b/c I think it would be better. I did a topping with oil, rosemary, and diced red onion, and it's very nice. I forgot to add coarse salt until after baking, so that (before-hand) would have made it better. We enjoy this as a bread, though.
