Baking is not really my forte. Especially breads. Think of all the kneading and waiting for the dough to rise? I’m afraid I don’t have the patience to wait. Though I knew I would have to bake my own bread one of these days. I like cooking things from scratch and there seems to be a tremendous inspiration of breads around the blogs. So this time, when I was paired with KJ of A Cracking Good Egg in the Taste and Create event hosted by Nicole at For the Love of Food, I was drawn to this fantastic foccacia recipe.

Look ma, no kneading! I essentially followed her Fantastic Foccacia recipe except I used 1 tbsp dried yeast instead of the fresh yeast she recommends. What’s great with focaccia is you can simply top it with salt or play around herbs like what I did. For my first focaccia, I topped it with a combination of chopped garlic, and dried thyme and tarragon. The garlic smelled so heavenly while it was baking and wafted around the house. The resulting focaccia was crusty outside, but the inside was another story. It was a bit moist, a bit undercooked and I have to toast again before eating. Hhmm, I wonder what went wrong. Could it be the yeast? My stove top oven? That is something I can investigate on this weekend. Nevertheless, I will certainly be perfecting this focaccia for my taste.
