  No flavour at all. Needs onion in it maybe. Very disappointing.

  i added a teaspoon of salt i think that is what is what is missing. I make a potato focaccia which is similar, and it is really nice to have with a salad.

  I added some salt as glorious suggested and thought the bread was lovely. Nice flavour - went well with a salad.

  Definitely needs some seasoning. The photo looks lovely which prompted me to make the recipe, and my finished product looked just as good but i was disappointed with the lack of flavour.

  Very bland, was very tempted to add red onions but decided as it was my first attempt to follow the recipe closely. Very disappointed with the taste. I think next time I will add herbs and maybe caramelised onions to add flavour.

  I added a large tablespoon of salt to the flour, 3 red & 2 white onions caramelised, used smoked cheddar (doubled quantity), doubled the courgette, doubled the thyme and sprinkled 1/2 tablespoon of Smoked Maldon Sea Salt on the foccacia before cooking and it still seemed to lack something...maybe some yogurt mixed into the dough next time or blue cheese on the top?

  The taste was great but it seemed a little heavy - perhaps I didn't prove long enough? Or may be it needs a second proving?

  I really like this and have made it a couple of times now. It is a super bread along with for instance a veggie main. But I took the advice of other reviewers and added salt, pepper and a pinch of cayenne, and I used yoghurt instead of water. Oh yes, and of course lots of turmeric. Turmeric gives a lovely colour and a wonderful smell. The taste is very subtle indeed, you can't go wrong. My rating is based on these adjustments. - I have also made this with cooked red lentils instead of potatoes, which was just as good or even better. (Red lentils can replace mashed potatoes in any recipe, as far as I know.) They will be wetter than potatoes, so liquids in the recipe should be reduced somewhat, but the dough may very well be quite wet. Mine was too moist to be kneaded, but the resulting bread was perfect.

  Made with salt, cayenne and yoghurt this is a delicious bread, excellent to complement a soup, a salad or a curry. Like that, it deserves 5stars. My guests liked it so much that they took the leftovers with them when they left. But how can GF produce such a recipe without listing salt?
