Rosemary-Onion Focaccia
My fellow blogger, Chris, raves about Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day. As I've watched her post Challah, Baguettes, and Cranberry Pecan Artisan Bread - to name a few - I've gone from skeptical to interested to inspired. I purchased this book and settled on Focaccia to start with.
It was easy and delicious! I did use King Arthur Flour's Perfect Pizza flour. One thing I learned from making this recipe was to saute the onions before placing then on top of the bread to keep them from burning in the hot oven. This method worked so well that I'm going to use it for pizza, too.
Although this bread is best fresh from the oven, we used the leftover Focaccia for sandwiches the next day and it retained its flavor and texture really well. I'm already looking forward to baking more from this book! Thanks, Chris!

Homemade focaccia is the best; yours looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteHmmm ... Never thought of using focaccia for sandwiches but it sounds like a delish idea :-)
ReplyDeleteSusan, I have that book but have not opened it as often as I should! Your focaccia looks great and I’m sure made a wonderful sandwich!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter gave me this book, Susan, and I've only used it once. Now, I just pulled it down from the shelf and am going to get busy. I have my Italian 00 flour (the equivalent to King Arthur's pizza flour) so need to try some of these recipes. I'g going to click on Chris' site also. Your focaccia looks delicious. Surprised there were leftovers.
