Didn't have any of the Epicure's spice so used rosemary, garlic, and sun dried tomatoes. Salted well with kosher salt before baking. Made a beautiful loaf of bread, but was rather flat tasting and lacking the chewy texture I like in foccacia. Didn't add stars as I was unable to follow the recipe as written.
