 A rainy weekend was spent in the kitchen baking Sour Cherry Focaccia. The same master dough recipe that was used for making Vanilla Cloverleaf Sweet Rolls, was the foundation of this delicious focaccia with tart cherries and almonds.  Again, as with the Vanilla Cloverleaf Sweet Rolls, the only change I made to the original recipe was to add additional flour (about 3-4 tablespoons) to the dough while mixing. Both times the dough was wet. I slowly added spoonfuls of flour to the dough until it was still soft, but did not stick to the sides of the mixing bowl.  I have a busy day ahead of me in the kitchen, making a Pavlova birthday cake for my daughter's 20th! Find the recipe for Bon Appétit's Sour Cherry Focaccia HERE. TAKE a LOOK:

Beautiful, Eileen. By the way, your knife and fork look very familiar. I am sure I know where they come from. Have a good week and happy birthday to your daughter. ;)

Thank you, Susan. And yes, the fork is from Amana. The knife was purchased in St. Paul at a flea market. 4/8/2013 04:21:11 am
Eileen, perfect timing. I'm using up my sour cherries in anticipation of this year's crop. One of my favorite breads was from a bakery in Bellingham, a sour cherry, rosemary challah bread. Yours will substitute nicely, since I never make it up North anymore. Merci!

Wow, Tom, that combination sounds bizzare and unique. Wish I could try it. Will you add rosemary to Eileen's recipe?

Is everyone as jealous as I am, of Tom's larder? It seems that every time I post a recipe, Tom has the ingredients -- that he grew himself!! But then, when you have the perfect growing conditions (and now, add to that, a greenhouse), it's no wonder. I can only dream...

I've been hankering for a sour cherry pie/flaky pastry lately. This will virtually satisfy me while I eat my oatmeal and walnuts this morning ;\

I would recommend trying to make this focaccia with cherries. I should first ask where you live in Iowa. I know that Trader Joe's carries jarred sour cherries. I would also search out canned or frozen. Leave a Reply. |
