Hello all,
Greetings from Bamfield again ♥ It is like a dream come true to smell and taste a freshly baked focaccia from the oven. I recently had a chance to learn how to make this delicious bread from pastry chef Darrius. For me it is quite interesting to know how to make it like professional. Darrius has gained his experienced for several years in a pastry kitchen….. “bubble skin is a good sign” he said.
My experienced for focaccia bread just ok but not impressive. This one is fantastic so I would like to keep the recipe and share with you.
