No it needs to spread out over a larger surface area than the narrow deep 1.5L

Wow this recipe is so easy and so yummy . I made a gluten free Foccacia swapping only the gf SR flour and I added 2 handfuls of diced bacon, 2 handfuls of cheese and heaps of garlic powder and mixed through . On top I placed more diced bacon and cheese and a little more garlic powder . I found that after 90 mins the top needed 3 mins under the grill to brown up.
The inside felt a little soft but think it was from the amount of cheese inside. Tasted amazing hot with some butter and vegemite. Will be a regular rotation.

This was the perfect side to have with our spaghetti bolognese last night 😋 This time round I used Italian herbs, onion flakes, minced garlic & grated tasty cheese – I added some of this to the dough mix and then added the rest to the top of the loaf. Cooked on high for 1.5hrs with a tea towel under the lid 🙂 Such a fantastically easy recipe to make, with so many yummy variations to try also 😀 Love this recipe, thanks for sharing it with us Paulene Christie 😊

I make this all the time. My children’s favourites are:
Apple and cinnamon
– reduce water to 1 cup
– add 1 cup warm homemade applesauce
– add 1/3 tablespoon baking powder
– add cinnamon to taste
Hot cross bun loaf
– add 1/2 cup currants
– add 3 tablespoons allspice
– add 1/3 tablespoon baking powder
You can make pumpkin bread too!
– substitute water with warm pumpkin puree
– add 1/3 tablespoon baking powder
– add your choice of either 1/2 cup cheese or 3 tablespoons pumpkin spice

This recipe couldn’t be easier. I just threw in what I had available – salami, Parmesan cheese and chives with a sprinkle of pepper. Cooked for closer to 1 hr 45 mins. Tastes great. Can’t wait to try a sweet version!
