The best thing since sliced bread is making your own. FACT. I’m a recent convert, but I’ve totally got the bug. Making a loaf of some description has become one of the things I look forward to doing at the weekend. It’s sad but true, but when you start doing it yourself, you discover how bloody satisfying it is.
One of the first loaves I baked was a Focaccia. It’s surprisingly easy to make, and looks pretty impressive. Win win. Here’s how you make it.
Ingredients
500g strong white bread flour (you can also use Italian tipo ‘00′ flour) plus more for dusting
5g powdered dried yeast
7g ground salt
325ml warm water
Teaspoon of honey
Olive oil
Salt flakes and rosemary to garnish
Polenta (optional) (more…)
