there must be something wrong with the recipe...the hydration is only 25% of water to flour, which is unheard of for a focaccia, should be at least 75-80%. The amount of instant yeast is also huge...I made the recipe as it was written...and it didn't come out well at all...

I have never tried Manitoba flour, but this recipe makes me want to hunt some down. Thanks for posting this.
