I, and my family, really enjoyed this bread. It was very flavorful and a real success! I added a touch more herbs (sage and basil) to the rosemary and it took this modification well. I've posted a photo as it ended up being a very good looking bread. Thank you for sharing this very easy and tasty recipe.

I absolutely LOVED this bread! Thanks for sharing this. I think you could add a variety of herbs and spices but, I thought it was fabulous just the way it was (I did, however, sprinkle the top with kosher salt as one reader mentioned).

I will make this again. It was so simple and it went wonderfully with some homemade lasagna!!

The ratio of ingredients in this recipes is flawless. I have a slightly ancient breadmaker, and even so this bread turned out fantastic. I did find the flavor slightly bland, but the texture was perfect. I suggest ,as others did, adding some italian seasoning to the dough.

Excellent. Easy to make and shape, tasted wonderful. Served with olive oil and italian herbs as a dip for a party to rave reviews. We've been baking on our gas grill this summer and this recipe turned out quite well. I reduced the heat by 50 degrees and baked for the full time specified.

AMAZING! This is a very "forgiving" recipe that you can really play around with!! I added everything except the flour to the bread machine pan & mixed it & let it rest (about 5 minutes) then added the flour and popped it in the machine. I used all-purpose flour, increased the salt to 1 tsp., added a pinch of sugar, increased the warm water to 1 1/4 cups and added in some oregano, marjoram & basil. I let it rest for about 30 minutes with the plastic wrap and then used brushcetta flavored olive oil over top (and on bottom of pizza pan). Sprinkled extra herbs, garlic salt & parmesan cheese over top and baked. It was perfect in 15 minutes rather than (20-25). After removing from the oven, I cut the focaccia into thick strips and placed them on my HOT (400 degree) pizza stone (sitting out on a cutting board, not back in the oven) for a few minutes to crisp up the bottoms----PERFECTION!!!!. This came out better than I could have imagined. I WILL be making this weekly! Thanks so much for sharing your recipe (my new favorite recipe)!!!

Beautiful and delicious bread, which I used for "Gourmet Chicken Sandwiches," also from this site. For a little more flavor and pazazz, after brushing the top with olive oil, I sprinkled it with coarse salt, freshly ground pepper, shredded Parmegiano Reggiano, and finally with fresh rosemary leaves. The bread was SO good, but not quite as thick as I would have liked for sandwiches, so in the future I will probably bake this in a 7X11" pan rather than the 9x13."

I have made this twice and it turned out perfect.For those who end up with a dry dough try checking the dough ball while it is kneading. I had to add a little water to get it right. Also using the rising in a cold oven method worked great! An excellent bread I will make often.

Even without a bread machine, this is a great tasting and easy recipe. If you want to substitute whole wheat flour like we did, it is very good -- just don't use ALL whole wheat. A good rule for most any recipe is to sub only half. Thanks for a great recipe!

Gobbled greedily by my hard-to-impress sons and husband. Very easy to make - so I'll be making this frequently from now on. I also sprinkled the top with sea salt and herbs. Delicious!

Excellent results. My family begs me to make it often. The only thing I change is occasionally putting in some black olives, changing the herbs used and adding some fresh grated asiago cheese.

Oh my gosh... This is a great recipe!! Instead of only using Rosemary in the bread itself, I used 1 tsp Rosemary, 1 tsp Basil, 1 tsp Thyme, 1 tsp Parsley flakes. As the dressing on top of the bread, try coating with olive oil, adding grated Parmesan and Kasseri cheese, then placing rings from an onion over the top.

I love this recipe!!!!! My own changes: Instead of rosemary I use 1 tbsp italian (mix) spices and 1 tbsp chopped garlic instead of 2 tsps. I follow exactly as instructed and my family LOVES it we often have it with an Italian style meal, like Spaghetti or Lazanga (a.k.a: lizard-on-ya)

Wow, this bread is super and so easy to make and doesn't take that long. Yum, Yum. Gave some to neighbors and they wanted the recipe and they are making it today...

I think there's a step missing in this recipe! The dough needs to have a second rising after it comes out of the bread machine and before it's dimpled. Trust me! I thought it sounded odd, but followed the directions to the letter and it failed miserably. The flavour was good, but really heavy dough and no browning. Maybe that is why the writer suggests you cover with plastic wrap while waiting for the oven to preheat??? Also recipe calls for 1 Tbsp of rosemary in dough, and then sprinkle with "remaining" rosemary??? I will try this one again, allowing the dough to rise before baking and will likely be back to rate it a 5 star as I think that was the only problem.
