Making focaccia tonight for pesto arugula tomato onion and turkey sandwiches
>>22190877i want those little bowls
Making caramelized red onions and deglazing with balsamic vinegar. Foccacias is in it's final proofing
Finishing with maldon sea salt and into the oven it goes
>>22190879Agreed, based on the stove area and food OP has great taste
>>22190906Bootlicker comment
>>22190879>>22190906Thank you, my wife bought them from world market or something. They're useless as measuring devices but great spoon restsHeirloom tomato, arugula, pesto and onions
Just say turkey sandwiches you pretentious fag
>>22190923>just say bread with things because i'm a simpletonftfy
Focaccia cooling. Got a generous brush of olive oil, smells great
Good crust, will show cross section shortly
>>22190953You shouldn't keep your oils so close to the stove. Heat rapidly degrades them
I need to let the proofing go for longer or knead a bit more next time Bread experts please chime in, I want to learn
>>22190993looks pretty good to me but I really just cook not bake
>>22190993little bit thin maybe?>>22191020ditto to all of thathavent baked since secondary school
Sandwiches were great. Light and filling, perked up with a little Dijon mustard>>22191020>>22191026Same here. Texture was great though, maybe I'll use stronger flour or knead a bit more for the next iteration
>>22191052want
>>22190993looks good, maybe a touch underproofed yeah
i really dont understand people who make sandwiches. the act of deciding "today the thing i will cook is sandwiches" is completely alien to me. i just dont understand it.
>>22190956>>22190993Looks good
>>22191076>t. Alien
>>22191073>the act of deciding "today the thing i will cook is sandwichesIt's a culinary school meme. It's an easy way to make people think you're capable of creating an "elevated" dish. And it's a crowd-pleaser that anyone at the table can enjoy.
>>22191076sometimes you make a bunch of bread and dont want to eat all of it plain as a side or as a snack
>>22191076Pretty sure nobody says "today I will cook sandwiches" you disingenuous fuck.
>>22191079looks like what i cook into pizza hut style old school breadsticksi score the bread after filling the pan so its easier to cut them when its doneget some sweet rich tomato marinara to dip in. oh yeah
>>22190993>>22190877In the OP pic, to me the dough looks a little on the dry side. I'm sure it turned out tasty but when I make focaccia the dough is not something I can hold in my hand without it oozing out. Poor choice of words, visually, but you get the gist. >>22191079 so yeah, for my money the crust is thick and all around it doesn't look as fluffy as I like it. More water and more proofing is my recommendation. You can bake at a lower temp as well and try the water bowl trick too some time.But it looks good and if you like it who am I to talk shit. Enjoy
>>22191376I'm also just now noticing the pooling oil. Maybe go easier on it and just drizzle it when you serve it if you must have so much. This can weigh down your dough as well and mess with the rising. Maybe that's the issue.I was on to something when I saw >>22191079 and noticed that the crumb is shiny even if it otherwise looks dry. Picrel confirmed it.Don't worry too much about kneading, focaccia can be mixed with a spoon and still turn out great
I tried to make bread for sandwiches last week but it always came out flat, but not intentionally like op's bread. it was rising fine when the dough was proofing, but after forming it into a roll shape it barely gained any height and only really expanded horizontally. it seemed like it was drying out on the surface and when I tried to score the top it deflated even more. I tried sprinkling water on the surface but it didn't seem to help. the insides looked normal though so I don't think the yeast died or was overproofed. what am I doing wrong? I'm attempting to make 82% hydration no kneading bread.
>>22190877All of that effort of making homemade bread... And you put fucking TURKEY on it? The most bland and boring of all proteins? The literal fucking "diet" meat?Fuck you. Put some god damn salami on it and stop being an asshole.
>>22191073>>22191376>>22191380>>22191408Thanks for the input, ill integrate the info
>>22191052horrendous choice of toppings but the bread does look good
>>22190993>>22191026Real Italian focaccia is thinner than that, even. Looks great.
Real Italian focaccia
>>22190993Looks bready good bro! >>22191079good crumb
>>22190877I love focaccia. Especially garnishing it. Just started on becoming a confectioner because I just can't get enough of making edible pretty things.
>>22191380i was about to comment how dry that dough looked
