How do you keep rosemary from burning on focaccia?
When you have drizzled the olive oil over the bread, then breaking off the pieces of leaves off of the stems of rosemary branch or stick. First coat them and the crushed garlic in some olive oil. Press them into the dough a little. Do this with any other toppings as well. This will prevent the herbs and toppings from getting burned on top of the bread.
What makes focaccia bread different from other breads?
The different types of breads baked are done at different temperatures. The focaccia bread does not get stale quickly and keeps longer because of the amount of olive oil used in it and on top of it, as well as some herbs that are included. Normal breads get stale quickly.
What type of flour is best for focaccia?
You can use all purpose flour and bread flour. The bread flour will give you a different texture and it will be chewier and salt and pepper the dough, which will make a huge difference in the taste.
How to make focaccia more flavorful?
I found that adding your herbs and spices directly into the dough before needing will give it more flavor as the wetness will absorb the flavors more. Most recipe ask for the herbs to be added when the dough is placed into the oven to bake. Placing the rosemary and garlic on top of the focaccia bread that was soaked in the olive oil is an additional touch to the bread.
