This rosemary garlic focaccia bread is one of the easiest yet most delicious yeast recipes I have made. It is fun to make and you can add any combination of flavours and herbs. While it is baking you almost feeling you are walking past an Italian bakery! For me, it invokes memories of travelling through Italy so all I need to do is close my eyes and it will transport me back. The best thing of all is it is so quick and easy to prepare in your thermomix.
When you taste it, it is as light as a feather and dipped in extra garlic and rosemary olive oil it packs a punch. It couldn’t be simpler made in your thermomix as all the ingredients are added together and kneaded so you don’t need to do any work. What used to turn me off making bread was the time it took to knead the bread. Well that was until I started making bread in my thermomix. Now it takes all the stress out of bread making. While the kneading is going on you can decide what you are going to cook for dinner!
If you like this and are wondering what dessert to make, then you will love my recipe for saffron cake made with olive oil and Mediterranean spices.
