Should you dimple focaccia?

After proper kneading and proving there will be plenty of large bubbles in the dough. If you try and bake the loaf at this point, they will expand and burst, causing the bread to collapse. To avoid this, you need to dimple your loaf with wet fingers or an oiled wooden spoon handle.

Why is my focaccia not browning?

If there's too much steam in your oven and your bread doesn't bake for very long, you won't get the level of browning you might want. When you let your dough proof too much, the yeast uses up all the sugars in the flour, so you don't get the dark caramelization on the bread.

Why is my focaccia not rising?

An under kneaded dough will have a dough structure that is more brittle. It cannot stretch to trap any of the gas released by the yeast, and thus cannot rise.
