The focaccias turned out very good. Can you imagine I did 3 portions of this and split them into 4 portions and gave them out? There were only all praises for the bread!

As for the water amount, you have to adjust it according...if the dough is a bit dry (meaning there are still flour remaining in your mixing bowl which cannot be gathered into a soft dough), then u add a little bit more water. If too wet and sticky, add a little bit of flour and adjust accordingly. I have not tried using mixer to knead the dough, but I am sure it can be done. I love the taste of the garlic and rosemary too! The kitchen smells so nice when the bread is baking hor?!Happy Homebakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15310704979379806678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805570821469912515.post-78230292188407383912008-10-02T10:52:00.000+08:002008-10-02T10:52:00.000+08:00Oops oops oops!

I must've done you a disservice by not following instructions! <I>*salute as a means of apologising*</I><BR/>I didn't fill up the entire baking tray because my tray was much larger than 12x10inch. I usually don't cover the dough during 2nd proofing for other breads, so I didn't thought it will affect so much as I put it in the oven to proof. So it's impt to cover the dough during the 2nd proof yah? How about the water, it's ok to use just 185ml? Also, has the water got to be cold or normal room temperature? Can I use my mixer with dough hook to knead instead?<BR/>Actually despite the bread being slightly hard, the taste was REALLY REALLY very good leh! I really love it. I'll attempt it again this weekend (for my parents & siblings)!

I pressed the dough to fill up the entire (12 x 10 inches) baking tray.<BR/>As for the hard crust...did you cover the dough during the second proofing? Any bread dough that's left uncovered during proofing will form a hard crust on the surface.Happy Homebakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15310704979379806678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805570821469912515.post-25739383055977578962008-10-01T20:02:00.000+08:002008-10-01T20:02:00.000+08:00Hi HHB,I tried baking this focaccia today, but it ...Hi HHB,<BR/>I tried baking this focaccia today, but it didn't turn out to be so beautiful like yours. I added only about 185ml of water and found that the dough was very sticky. I tried to knead it till not too sticky and let it proof. Somehow, after baking, the crust was real hard, it rised so much higher than yours in the centre. Any idea what went wrong for my focaccia? :p But I really love the taste.
