Focaccia Bread

The husband and I were having spaghetti bolognese for dinner and I wanted to make some bread to go with it, given my new found confidence after the Hot Cross Bun success. I discovered that Focaccia is a really simple bread to start with and doesn't need too many hours of proofing compared to some other breads. Again, I made this before I decided on the blog so have not done a step by step.

I reverted to Mr Hollywood again (he makes me feel all safe and warm) for the recipe on the BBC Good Food website as I had all of the ingredients in the cupboard.

I also found this blog by Kerry Cooks which was very helpful in reassuring me on the texture of the dough. Yes it is supposed to be that wet, no you shouldn't add more flour and yes, it will stick all over your hands and all over the work surface. Deal with it and keep going.

I added some dried rosemary to mine which was delicious, I can't wait to try it again with some toppings, maybe olives, sun-dried tomatoes and feta or red onion and goats cheese. Mmmm.
