I just love working with sourdough. It is so easy to work with, itโ€™s tasty, and healthy for you as well.

The difference between making my pizza and sourdough bread compared to the focaccia bread is that I will have to knead the dough rather than using the stretch/fold method.

The key is to bake the Focaccia in a very hot oven. I do drizzle quite a bit of olive oil on the baking sheet before putting in the sourdough.

The next step is to press dimples into the surface by using your fingertips. Finally, I will drizzle more olive oil on the dough together with scattered rosemary twigs and a sprinkle of salt.

Oh, how I wished you could smell the golden-brown sourdough focaccia bread fresh from the oven. I have to watch my kids with eagle eyes so they donโ€™t eat this beautiful bread with the gorgeous crust in a flash.

After all, I like to serve it with our tasty corn fritters (or maybe a simple spaghetti dish) and a green salad for a light dinner.
