  1. I didn't have a scale so I followed and used (3 3/4 cups of flour as per the instructions) and watched this video over and over. My dough wasn't wet and sticky so now I'm worried. I did my first stretch..it seemed okay but not stretchy like the video. Hopefully this comes out ok.

  2. Been making this every couple of days, comes out perfect every time!

    I usually double up on the measurements and make a huge loaf with sundried tomatoes and olives pressed in.

    Decided to stuff the center with parma ham and provolone cheese today. About to go in the oven right now.

    Wish me luck 😆

  3. I’m making one tonight😂 I realized I had to cut the 30 minutes proofing in between folds because it’s waaaay too warm here where I live and the dough was puffing up way too fast😅 hopefully it comes out sort of okay. Wish me luck😆😆

  4. Hi Natasha focaccia turned out perfect except that it stuck to the pan any tips for it not sticking, I did add the 1/4 cup oil as you suggest on the bottom but it still stuck. If I put parchment at the bottom will that work?

  5. Mmm I remember the Italian restaurant where I grew up served their pane like that. With the oil and vinegar. Geez that was over 20 years ago, I remember that little restaurant. 💎

  6. 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, 4×3" 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!

  7. This was sooo good, and yes quite easy but time consuming. At my daughter’s birthday dinner party, this was definitely the highlight of dinner. She had also order some store made focaccia, but my bread, based on your recipe, was 100% consumed. Thanks so much!

  8. 5 Star Focaccia Bread! This bread is amazing! I made it for my County Fair and won First Place and Best of Show!!! Thank you Natasha for the great recipe! Even my 12 year old daughter can make it on her own with no problems. I always weigh the flour because it gives better accuracy. Start this in the morning and by dinner time you will have a delicious bread! It goes great with ANY Italian dinner. Tonight I’m making it with Natasha’s Creamy Feta Pasta Bake! Thanks again Natasha! My family really loves this bread!
