Twd: focaccia

Yes, I'm too late. It isn't tuesday anymore. I had this bread planned on tuesday, and read the first part of the recipe. And stopped when it said for the second rise....
What I didn't expect was that after the second rise you had to put the dough in the refrigerator for 24 hours to get a focaccia. Never ever made a bread which had to rest in the refrigerator after the second rise. But I know better for the future!!
So I changed my menu for tuesday and we ate the focaccia a day later for dinner.
But I was glad I did wait the 24 hours to let the focaccia get it's taste. Boy it was good. A real nice structure and with the herbs on top it was delicious.

We ate it with a bit of fish and a salad. The focaccia was definitely the highlight.

What did I learn? Next time I start with the focaccia dough on time and make this post on time.
But it is a great bread to make and I'm sure I will make it again in the future!

It was a long time to let it sit and relax in the fridge! Glad you enjoyed it.

Your focaccia looks great and it did take quite a long to make! There are shorter timed recipes that yield similar results!
