Meyer Lemon Focaccia

You can also make this. I promise. Even when you do not assume you are a lot of a baker. It is a golden crusted focaccia draped with whisper skinny rounds of Meyer lemon, studded with black olives, and a showered with sliced almonds. The dough is herb-flecked with a beneficiant increase of hemp seeds, and a proportion of rye flour when you occur to have some available. It is the identical one I posted to my Instagram feed, and It is the one focaccia recipe you want! 

The Pre-bake:

The shot above is what the focaccia seems to be like previous to baking. I used an enameled cast-iron baking pan, however(!) you may completely make the focaccia free-form (simply form it on an ordinary baking sheet). A 3rd possibility is a forged iron skillet. I baked the final model I did in a 9-inch forged iron skillet. Experiment and have enjoyable with it!

Focaccia Inspiration

I have been on a little bit of a focaccia bender currently after making Nigel Slater’s Cranberry Focaccia for New Years Eve (from The Christmas Chronicles). I forgot how easy and satisfying it’s to make, and all of the alternative ways you may high it primarily based on what you’ve gotten across the kitchen. You possibly can adapt the recipe with all types of alternate toppings! Have enjoyable experimenting.

Selecting the Right Yeast:

This recipe calls for immediate yeast, and I am together with a shot of the precise yeast I used for reference under. You possibly can add it on to the dough. Completely different than lively dry yeast.

If you happen to make this, or a riff on it, tag me on Instagram (heidijswanson) so I can see :)!
