Sourdough Focaccia
I'm often asked how to start with baking. And even though baking seems like an impossible kitchen task, it's not such a crazy science as everyone makes it out to be. When I think about an easy, versatile bread recipe to recommend starting with, it's focaccia. It's a very forgiving dough, and considering it's baked in a tray, you can't go wrong. This spongy bread is both fun to make and to eat, with its thin crispy crust and soft chewy crumb. Here, I'm using a sourdough starter and a kick of dry yeast, which ensures good fermentation for that perfect texture. You can top it with whatever you want or leave it plain to be a versatile base for any sandwich you want to make for guests or just for yourself. It's fine!
