Wrap it in foil and stick it back in the oven for a couple minutes. It is to die for.<br />So here I am back again to make it for my husband who is crazing this on a cold snowy Canadian day.<br />Thank you !!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-14531797340607428102012-11-08T07:45:06.300-06:002012-11-08T07:45:06.300-06:00Thanks for the feedback.

I'm not sure what the problem is. ...Hi Shereen,<br />I'm not sure what the problem is. You might try reducing the length of the second rise, in case the yeast has been exhausting itself before the bread goes in the oven - and there isn't enough oomph left in it to create that burst of 'oven spring' when the dough hits the blast of heat.<br /><br />To find out if this is the problem, simply put one bread in the oven first, then wait 5 or 10 minutes and put the other one in and see which one comes out better.<br />Farmgirl Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04851855517852917202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-43858936544945969992012-10-17T08:50:15.138-05:002012-10-17T08:50:15.138-05:00HI IM SHEREEN AND I LIVE IN DURBAN ,SOUTH AFRICA

I was part of the Bread Baker's Apprentice group. I love the savory versions with lots of herbs and cheese. So good (which is why I'm drooling over yours). But I've also made a sweet version. Or at least the toppings were. The bread was the same. I made a cinnamon apple walnut one. Needed more butter, but was tasty!

It really is a great one to have in your repertoire - impressive looking (and tasting!) but so easy to make. :)</b><br /><br /><b>Friends in LA,</b><br />I'm so glad you had first time focaccia success! I love that it ended up in the shape of a heart - and that you want to send me a photo. If you look at the top of any page on this site, just under the Farmgirl Fare header, there are some navigation tabs, and one of them says <a href="http://www.farmgirlfare.com/p/contact.html" rel="nofollow"><b>CONTACT</b></a> and includes my e-mail address.<br /><br />And thanks for the reminder that one of the things that's been on my Would Love To Do list for years is to start a Farmgirl Fare flickr group where members could upload photos they made of my recipes, garden bounty, etc. :)<br /><br /><b>homegrown countrygirl,</b><br />Thanks so much. One of my goals is to find time to post more bread recipes - and bake more bread! :)<br /><br /><b>Ben,</b><br />I'm so happy your focaccia was a hit!

Next door is the SunFlower Cafe...They serve most of their sandwiches on the fococcia flat bread or in vegetable wraps or Pita. All made right there in their Sunflower Kitchen...That is where I got introduced to alternative ways to have a sandwich. I did not realize that you could make your own until I read your site this morning..<br />I had so much fun making focaccia today.<br />I just followed the recipe and It was easy to make and this evening for supper we had Chicken salad along with the fococcia bread...Delicious Cucumbers and tomatoes from the garden...and We had rain today. Beautiful rain which we have not seen a whole alot of this last summer....It turned out beautiful..I wish you had a place for us to send you a photo..when we try the recipes..Maybe you do and I just have not found it....Reason for a photo of our fococcia is because when I slide it onto the pizza stone..It got squished a little and after it baked I noticed it was in the shape of a great Big Heart..Nice Surprise..Thank you for all the interesting e-visits to your Missouri Farm. My husband even has been coming home and asking what was going on in Missouri. We both hope you are better from your sniffles.
