Of all the viral food trends that have sprung up during this pandemic, this one has to be my favourite. Making Focaccia Bread Art is like playdough for adults and way cheaper than therapy, especially if you need some stress-relief from being cooped up at home.
With so many people suddenly resorting to baking during this time, yeast and flour can be hard to find in the stores. I lined up for one hour at Phoon Huat to buy the ingredients to make this bread, but it was totally worth it!
Focaccia is super easy to make even if it’s your first time baking, so don’t worry. You’ve got this!
I would, however, advise that you get a kitchen thermometer to make sure that you don’t kill the yeast with water that is too hot. Also, don’t worry if you don’t have a standing mixer as you can make this by hand easily.
What’s great is that these edible decorations not only give this classic flat Italian bread a pretty makeover, it levels up the flavour too. You can also use pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, sun dried tomatoes, capers, spring onions and even sausages and Parmesan cheese. Get the kids involved and get creative. Finally, playing with your food is something everyone can enjoy!
