EASY FOCACCIA that’s also a fun substitute for a cheeseboard.

I had so much fun making this focaccia. There’s something about the science of watching it grow during the proofing on the baking side of the process combined with the freedom of the toppings that I loved. It’s a great balance. Yes, the recipe takes time BUT it’s mostly passive inactive time where the biggest inconvenience in your life is your dough’s irreverent commandeering of your fridge for 48 hours. Before that, it’s about five minutes of active work, another five minutes after the 48 hours of proofing, and then another five minutes of decorating. Everything else is a wait-and-check-on-it elegant baking dance.

The results are so fun! If you’re hosting and you’re bored of a cheeseboard or need an extra special bread in your spread on pasta night, this is the showstopper focaccia recipe to make those wants a reality.
