It's all your fault I've gained 25 pounds with your amazing recipes in the first place (looks fabulous; can't wait for a cheat day/week/month/give up on keto again as usual)

They made it with green bell pepper, roma tomatoes, red onion, kalmata olives, artichoke hearts, garlic and it was to die for. I'm now going to try and make it again!!! Thank you for this!! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

    I make a foccacia almost once a week. It is absolutely marvelous and versatile. It takes forever to go bad if you keep it in the fridge. I make mine plain and fry it in hearted olive oil sprinkled liberally with Parmesan then I dredged it in Italian marinara and wash it down with red wine.
    Or I will fry slices in butter and sprinkle cinnamon sugar on it. Just exquisite.

    OMG! I made it last night and it was insanely good! It was just as golden crunchy, fluffy and delicious as you said it would be. I'm not exactly gifted with culinary skills, but I braved out last night since I was alone and had no one else to judge me, but myself. I’m soooo glad I did though, I topped it with fresh cherry tomatoes, kalamata olives, fresh rosemary, sliced fresh mozzarella cheese, fresh squeezed garlic, and all bagel seasoning since I didn’t have any kosher or coarse salt. The result was incredibly delicious and I had to come here and post a thank you note, not only for the recipe, but also for inspiring and encouraging me to make. I’m so proud of it, I taped myself on the back, but I know the credit is all yours, really. So a big THANK YOU is in order. 😊
    Oh, I almost forgot! The dough was really dry and didn’t look like yours at all, so I added some more water. I didn’t really mesure, just kept adding little by little until it looked like yours, I’d say something around a half cup or so. I also divided the dough into two parts and used a cookie sheet to bake. I froze the other half and hope it will be as good as the first one. 😋
    Update: I just reheat a refrigerated leftover slice for 6 minutes at 400°F in the air fryer and let me tell you… it is criminal how good it is! 😅

    Funny focaccia story. I use the recipe you had demoed previously a year or two back, and I always do the overnight/fridge step. One morning I had some proofing and called my hubby in to see how bubbly it was. About an hour later, I walk into the kitchen and he has my bowl of focaccia out on the counter. I asked him what he was doing with it and he (very shamefully) admitted that one of the big bubbles in the dough was crying out for him to go in there and pop it. I was not amused.
