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.

This focaccia was a bit too dense for my taste.

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.
