Mine turned out exactly like yours and with the same accompanying dialogue. And you also mixed yours with the dough hook... But also inspired that it is amazing when it comes together. Will attempt again.<br />NicolaNicolahttp://shebakesthecake.blogspot.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21995818.post-35703572310635570022008-06-06T14:14:00.000-05:002008-06-06T14:14:00.000-05:00I had the same problem the first time I tried the ...I had the same problem the first time I tried the recipe, but I was undaunted and the second time it was heavenly- I dry-measured the second time instead of weighing the flour as I usaully do. It was magic when the dough became a silky mass on the beater. Really. It is worth the effort and frustration to get it correct.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21995818.post-13218619626833445442008-01-05T21:48:00.000-06:002008-01-05T21:48:00.000-06:00Annieb47,Did you look at my second try at the rose...Annieb47,<BR/>Did you look at my second try at the rosemary focaccia from The Bread Bible? For some reason, everything fell into place the second time I tried it (one version with rosemary and one with roasted garlic). I was afraid to try this one again because it was so awful the first time, but ended up being thrilled with it. Don't give up!<BR/>MarieMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13183158217378477758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21995818.post-49898797640117143382008-01-05T19:08:00.000-06:002008-01-05T19:08:00.000-06:00I just made focaccia, from another author, for the...I just made focaccia, from another author, for the third time, and am now convinced that I need a new recipe. It comes out too flat and hard. Portions of it are almost cracker like! I googled bread disasters and came across your incredible blog, and am now inspired to possibly start my own. We'll see. It's not as if I don't have enough projects underway already, knitting, taxes, home tour 2008, fundraising, oh yeah, a job. Anyway, I'll keep searching for the reason my focaccia is more boardlike than I'd hoped. I suspect the water to wheat ratio is a tad shy. Might also have kneaded too long. Anyway, haven't read all of your entries yet, but just zoomed through your New Year's Eve progressive dinner. I was full at appetizers. Perhaps another time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21995818.post-1155681643834935602006-08-15T17:40:00.000-05:002006-08-15T17:40:00.000-05:00I know!
