Focaccia
« on: July 05, 2004, 08:33:13 PM »
Using the recipe from The Frugal Gourmet Cooks Three Ancient Cuisines I prepaired a batch of focaccia dough per its instructions.

I halved the dough and patted them out into two pans and topped each pan two different ways.  Below are the pictures.

My family loved all 4 styles so I hope some of you give it a try.

For copyright reasons I can not post the recipe, but once I make some adjustments and make it 'my own' I will post that version.

Here is the first one I made.  The whole "crust" is covered with sauce (see the one I have posted here before) and half has saute' onion and garlic the other is a standard pizza of motz cheese and pepperoni.

Second one out of the oven.  Despite the way the picture came out the cheese is not burnt and it was quite good.

Looks great, your making the foccaciaman jealous..... :)

I usually make much thicker 12 inch foccacias.

Did you do a double rise with the dough? Or is it from the fridge overnight?

I followed the instructions as is and they called for a double rise.

Like I said I will make some personal changes next time I make it.  That includes making it thicker.

I fell in love with foccacia when I started splitting my round loafs and turning them into huge muffaleta sandwhiches. MMMMMMMM  ;D

Never had I made the large baking sheet type which you made, although I have seen them many times. Looks great. Now I have to make one soon. After I stop experimenting with these strombolis.

How is the job search going anyway. I hope all is going good. :) :)

DKM:
Have you made your recipe for focaccia available?  Your pictures show your efforts turned out excellent.  I would really like to try duplicating it at home.
I am a new member so if recipe for your focaccia has been posted please excuse.
