Apple Cinnamon Flatbread

Focaccia is usually thought of as a savory Italian flatbread, often topped with herbs, onions, or olives. But one weekend, while baking for my grandkids (all of whom have a sweet tooth), I decided to experiment with a sweeter twist. The idea had been tucked away in the back of my mind for months: a...

Sourdough Focaccia With Roasted Garlic & Rosemary

Deborah — Wed, 01 Oct 2025 11:00:00 +0000

Few things are as inviting as a pan of golden, pillowy focaccia fresh from the oven — and when it’s made with sourdough, rosemary, and roasted garlic, it becomes truly unforgettable. The natural tang of the starter brings depth and character, while slow-roasted garlic melts into sweet, caramelized pockets of flavor. Rosemary lends its piney...

Focaccia Studded With Salami & Pecorino Romano Cheese

I always have salami and cheese in my refrigerator for us to snack on, or to make a quick appetizer for our family pizza nights. I often slice the salami and cheese before the family arrive so it is easy to assemble a plate for everyone to enjoy with a glass of wine. Once sliced...

Schiacciata is an Italian flatbread most commonly found in Tuscany. Its name means “pressed down,” which refers to the method of pressing the dough during preparation. Schiacciata is thinner than focaccia and has a crisp exterior. It is commonly made with “00” flour, water, yeast, olive oil, and salt. This Schiacciata is made with thin...

Lemon Thyme Focaccia

Deborah — Wed, 07 May 2025 11:00:00 +0000

I have done so much baking during the past few months, I even surprised myself. Although I’ve always enjoyed baking bread, I haven’t enjoyed baking sweets. Baking, in general, requires precision measuring or weighing, and one mistake can turn a cake from amazing into a flop. During the past few months, I have mastered my...

Focaccia With Figs, Caramelized Onions, & Gorgonzola Cheese

Deborah — Wed, 18 Sep 2024 11:00:00 +0000

Although the fall season has not officially begun, we are now seeing some of my favorite fall produce in the markets, including pumpkin, cauliflower, greens, apples, and figs, both white and black. I especially love figs and we enjoy them often during the too short season they are available to us each year in the...

Focaccia with Olives & Artichokes

Deborah — Mon, 08 Jul 2024 11:00:00 +0000

After three wonderful weeks in Italy I returned home inspired to get back into my own kitchen and to start working on some new recipes. Unfortunately, just days after I returned home, I fell in the garage, fracturing my hip which required surgery to repair. After five days in the hospital, I am once again...

Focaccia With Peaches & Thyme

Deborah — Wed, 19 Jul 2023 11:04:25 +0000

I will only buy fruit in season, so when local peaches finally show up in our area markets, I tend to go a little overboard. My husband eats a lot of fruit throughout the day, but we sometimes have too many perfectly ripened peaches to eat all at once. I like to use peaches while...
