My dear husband requested focaccia to go with our split pea soup for dinner tonight.... and I remembered having watched Anne Burrell rock it out on her show, so I looked it up. Here's the
Focaccia recipe for a heavenly pillow of dough. Focaccia can be so versatile, adding rosemary, olives and cheeses, or cutting it as sandwich bread. It's not an everyday staple, but a really nice substitute for regular old bread.
I didn't have the kind of yeast she specified (I have Rapid Rise in a jar), but used 2 1/4 teaspoons of yeast. I also have tons of bread flour, so I used that instead of the all purpose. The results were better than expected.
The foccacia turned out well! It's the 1 c. olive oil. Yum, yum. Next time I will add herbs to the dough and have roasted eggplant for spreading on top.
