If you love carbs and good scenery, you’ll go crazy for the mindblowing focaccia art coming out of the the internet. It’s absolutely gorgeous and easier to make than it looks. Whip it up on a sheet pan or in your favorite vintage cast iron skillets. It’s up to you.
“I always make extra dough to make my focaccia with a little art,” shares Facebook user Needmore Farms. “I find it very relaxing with a glass of wine.”
The recipe is laid out in the post shows off the breathtaking displays of veggies and flora adorning rich, chewy focaccia crust.
Focaccia art instructions:
- Proof your yeast (1.5 teaspoons of yeast, 1/2 teaspoon of sugar) in warm water. This should look like a frothy latte after around 15 minutes.
- Add 5 cups of 00 flous (this make a large focaccia)
- And a generous pinch of salt (the author uses Italian sea salt like this one)
- Add it to your mixer with a bit more water until it’s slightly sticky
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and hand-knead until you feel it getting elastic and soft (the author suggests this may take about 10 minutes)
- Allow the dough to rise, then cover it and pop it into the fridge for about 24 hours.
- Take it out, let it rise again.
- Put the dough into a large pan to keep rising a bit more and then get started with your art.
Consider thinly slicing bell peppers, onions, olives and vine-ripened tomatoes to create your focaccia art landscape. Adorn with basil, parsley and even rosemary sprigs.
