I like making focaccia over the weekend as Carlos and I can munch on it the whole day without me worrying about cooking lunch or dinner. If you're new at bread baking, focaccia is great way to start because it's pretty forgiving. As for the topping you can go minimal like brushing with a bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper or you can pile up the toppings to produce a thick-crusted pizza.
Personally my favorite version is to drizzle the dough with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and add a thin layer of caramelized onions (3 onions cooked with olive oil until nicely browned) and top it off with some home grown cherry tomatoes and some olives. Bake until golden brown and then garnish the finished bread with a bit of shredded basil.

This focacia looks delicious and easy to make. Your cherry tomatoes add beautiful color to the dish. Thank you for the recipe. I will try it when I get the chance.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty. Thanks for sharing Gert. I however would pass on the olives. Olives and I not very 'kam cheng'!
