Simple Potato and Rosemary Focaccia image

This was my first attempt at focaccia, several years ago, and it worked out well. I've made it several times since then. Having come across it again whilst browsing my cookbooks, I thought that you might like to try it! After it is baked , although it's great just as it is, try topping it with some fresh baby spinach or rocket (arugula) leaves. and shavings of Parmesan cheese. Be sure to slice the potatoes for the topping very thinly, they will cook on top of the focaccia. From : The Vegetarian Kitchen: Susan Gardner

This focaccia was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my focaccia turned out really dry. I think I might have overproofed it.

This focaccia was a bit too dense for my taste. I think I might try a different recipe next time.
