Do you enjoy experimenting with difficult recipes? Then there's a group for you in the YumSugar Community: Kitchen Challengers! Here Lauren challenges herself to making focaccia.
I love focaccia but have never made my own, so I thought for challenge 10, I would give it a try! I opted to use a Saveur focaccia recipe. The recipe was actually pretty easy like most breads I have to come realize. It is a process of patience more so than a challenging cooking adventure. I opted to skip the tomatoes and olives, and instead I used a bunch of the fresh herbs, like tarragon, thyme, and rosemary. The final product was pretty tasty, but for me was a little more dense than I would have wished, so I think I will give another recipe a try!

Homemade Focaccia in the Wood-Fired Pizza Oven
This story, from the Savory Sights group in the YumSugar Community, was written by member nancyeinhart.
My dad built a wood-fired pizza oven in his backyard, where he serves up amazingly gourmet, but simple Italian pizzas, as well as the best focaccia I have ever had. He's spent years perfecting the dough, and the other day, my stepmom snapped some brilliant photos of the firing process: one rosemary focaccia and one with caramelized onions. He also shared his favorite focaccia sandwich if you want to give it a shot. Or just check out all the delectable photos.
