Appetizing Potato Focaccia Recipe

Appetizing Potato Focaccia Recipe

I prepared this potato focaccia recipe yesterday, it was good just as the ones you buy in Italian bakery shops during the morning.

When I came to live in Italy, I used to live in a very small city and shop for groceries in a small aunt’s local market. It was about a block from my house, and in between there was the bakery shop (and ovens where bread was baked) of my husband’s uncle. Well…if I happened to go shopping during the morning, around 11:00am, I always get back home with a pizza bianca, just like this one you see here.

I just couldn’t resist it. Sometimes I began to eat it on the way back home, sometimes I could wait until arriving home, but I never had leftovers ;-).

It is also particularly easy to make. Yesterday I began to knead it with my robot, but it seems to have problems. I then looked for my bread machine that, even if  smaller, kneads the same. I then transferred the potato focaccia dough to the bread machine to continue kneading with no problems. It is not a fragile or particular sensible recipe. I used a spiced salt on the top, but it is not mandatory. I used a thyme and olive flavored salt on one pan and Fleur de Sel on the other. Obviously, my good quality extra virgin olive oil on both ;-).

This focaccia recipe gives 2 trays of about 25x30cm/9.8×11.8in. It is good warm but also cold. By itself or with cold cuts.

I saw this recipe on this Italian site.
