Good afternoon, I hope you are all having a mighty fine day and that all has gone smoothly. I have been basking in Italian all weekend and speaking and thinking and speaking and thinking only in Italian. I am slowly forgetting how to write in English. Along the way of the production of my cook book, I decided that it was absolutely necessary to have a strictly Italian recipes section. Thus, I came upon Focaccia Alla Genovese. Focaccia Alla Genovese has its origins in Genoa, Italy and is special because of the extra virgine olive oil that is added to the bread to give it the golden color and delicious bite. It truly is one of the most simple, yet most delicious breads.
Simply put, this bread is killer and will knock you out with just one bite. The inside is crunchy, the outside is crunchy, you just can't get a better side dish to your past or meat, or vegetables. I found this recipe through Giallo Zafferano, http://ricette.giallozafferano.it/Focaccia-fugassa-alla-genovese.html. Please head there right now, and even if you don't understand Italian, watch the video and I promise you will know how to make the bread, despite what she is talking about. I have plans to absolutely master bread making in my new apartment that will be moving into exactly 30 days from today. Oh how I am excited!
Nonetheless, I know that this is a fantastic recipe and I hope that you too, will try it. Find an English recipe, but at the least, watch the video so that you can learn some of the Italian technique behind the bread.
