Each one will get better! After a while you start to learn what the dough should look/feel like as you're making it so just keep making them lol

I love focaccia bread! :D

Edit: if you aren't already, prep the yeast the "old fashioned way" with warm water (less than 110°) and some sugar. Cover it and let it sit for 10 mins. I mix the dough, let it rise for about an hour, knead it again, and let it rise another hour keeping it warm over the oven. I happen to have a little exhaust under one of the burners so I put the oven on it's lowest setting so the exhaust can keep the mixing bowl warm. The yeast needs to stay warm!

I know some people use instant yeast or whatever or just toss the yeast in the mix and I don't think that works as well.

I hope so Lol. And yea I use the same technique leaving the yeast in water and suger, no timing though instead I wait for it to foam.

The oven exhaust is genius! Idk why I never thought of that

Thanks! Depending on what your lowest setting is you might want to put a plate down first or just raise the bowl a bit as it can get too hot sometimes
