Recipe #13 BBA Challenge Focaccia!
A Pictorial

A Poem

Maybe BBA should stand for- Bread Bakers Anonymous.

I think there maybe a problem.

I just cant seem to stop.

Flour, yeast and water makes me hot!

Its a love like no other.

Its deep and strong.

Its what I dream of all night long.

I cant get enough.

I dont know what to do.

If it only makes one loaf - I will double the recipe and make two!

Yes. I am in love with bread.

Focaccia is my latest love.

It the best recipe yet - to speak of

I still have feelings for the bagel.

The English muffin too.

But this new love for focaccia - its true!

Topped with red and yellow peppers

Black olives, basil and feta cheese

Eating the whole pan - it was a breeze.

It's only recipe 13.

What am I gonna do?

Maybe I will get a " I love the BBA Challenge" tattoo!

Maybe there is Bread Anonymous

Help for my Flour and Yeast addiction

But really

Is being in love with bread such a bad affliction?

The focaccia rocks. I make focaccia often. I loved this recipe and I think it will take the place of my usual focaccia recipe. I made the poolish version and topped with red and yellow peppers, black olive, basil, feta and lots of herb oil!! It made a ton. Next time I would divide the dough in half and make a tad bit thinner. Try it soon.

Happy Baking!

Dont come a knockin' of the Kitchen Aid is a rockin'!
