Frugal Gourmet's Focaccia image

I copied this recipe from the Frugal Gourmet show years ago as I watched Jeff Smith prepare it. It certainly looked delicious and I had to try it. It is good! (Rise time is not included)

This focaccia was a disappointment. It was too oily and the flavor was lacking.

This focaccia is not worth the effort. It's bland and boring.

Followed the recipe to a T. The end result tasted more like a flatbread. Not quite focaccia.

This focaccia turned out amazing! The texture was light and fluffy, and the flavor was savory and flavorful. I especially loved the crispy crust.
