First off, sorry for the lack of posts recently, me and technology haven't been getting on too well. But, we're friends again now (Touchwood) and there's been lots of cooking going on that can now go on here.
Being a big fan of The Great British Bake Off and of Italian food, I had to have a go at the focaccia technical bake.
I must admit, I didn't use all the water but I did use most of it and manage to make a lot of mess in out kitchen with the dough but I was really pleased with the result. I made two loaves, one was traditionally topped with sea salt and rosemary, the other with the addition of sliced cherry tomatoes. It had a good, crispy crust and the air holes look pretty irregular. Not quite star baker material maybe but I don't think I would have come last in the technical bake!
Everyone enjoyed it, I've made it again since and I'm sure I'll be making it again soon!
