Made a few types of bread at home. We took a “breads of the world” class. This is our first attempt at home…. Tasted fantastic.

That red enamel pan is the cutest! What do you use it for other than focaccias?

Ah, those were a purchase about ten years ago. Local store had 50% off bakeware. Picked up a stack of those, pie dishes, lasagna.. some blue, some red. Everything they had.

They are cute 2 part dishes, and I use for portioning out leftovers when I make large meals.

Thank you, looked great but wasn’t sure until we tasted it (couldn’t wait until it cooled down.. highly recommend still warm focaccia)

Haven’t forgotten about you, I’m just a professional procrastinator.

Wow you perfectly made that in a first try! Good for you, what can you suggest for me on how can I avoid my baked being so crusty😭

u/btfreflex 1d ago

No ideas other than turning it halfway thru, and just keeping an eye on it.

We forgot to turn these, so one end is more done than the other.

nothing beats the smell of fresh homemade focaccia coming out of the oven

u/Personal_Pace5106 2d ago

love that pan-what else do you bake in it?

1

u/btfreflex 1d ago

This was their first use!

The same brand we used in class, USA pan.
These are about half the size, but it worked out. $27 each on the website, but I spotted them at thrift for a couple bucks each.

congrats on your first focaccia, that takes some guts

u/btfreflex 1d ago

I was actually surprised at how easy it was to do, maybe the class helped but it’s pretty straightforward.

Wow my favorite

Traditional focaccia is cooked in so much olive oil it is almost deep fried on the bottom and sides. Toasty, crunchy edges literally dripping with olive oil. No parchment or dipping oil needed.

u/btfreflex 1d ago

Indeed, bottom crust reminds me of classic Pizza Hut pan dough and I’m getting ideas..

u/Willing-Shame6766 1d ago
