    Send us crumb shot and then bake it on a lower oven rack next time!

    Get rid of the parchment paper, that’s what’s making your bottom soft. The oil in the bottom of the pan is supposed to fry the bottom of the crust making it crispy.

    The King Arthur recipe tells you to take it out of the pan and put the loaf directly on the rack for the last few minutes of baking to get the crust right.

    I also agree with folks saying less parchment paper (just a strip so you can lift it out).

    Glad it was delicious even if it wasn’t perfect!

    Looks lovely!

    I’ve had success placing the pan with the focaccia on a hot surface like a baking steel or stone. This surface will be preheating with the oven as it needs to be hot when you place your pan on it! It helps form a crust on the bottom.

    I would also place the pan on the lowest rack in the oven to stop it browning too quickly before the bottom has cooked enough!
