    Hi Myra:
    I am a big fan of focaccia. This sounds great. I have added it to my try soon folder. I like the use of potatoes as the added sugar and starch will help with the rise when using lower gluten all purpose flour. Thanks for sharing.
    Best Regards,
    Bob

      Hey Bob,

      The bread does rise higher than many focaccia recipes, which makes it softer, less dense.
