I am way into breads right now because they are a departure from my normal repertoire of cakes and brownies. Yeast was the final frontier of my baking world and I am exploring new territory every weekend.
I made rosemary focaccia for the first time and was smitten with the results (and with myself for making a completely successful result because I sort of believe every bread I attempt will result in epic failure).
My pot of rosemary has been growing wildly all summer and was begging to be appreciated in some way. I also had some shallots and tomatoes from our garden so I sauteed the shallots with olive oil and sliced the tomato to use as a topping. I wish I had used twice as much because they really the star (sorry, rosemary).
The recipe was curiously lacking garlic, which seemed criminal to me. I added a few minced cloves to the dough and to the oil I drizzled over the top. I also added rosemary to the dough after reading some of the recipe reviewers suggestions. We ate some, gave some away, and I made amazing croutons with the rest!
