I love the America's Test Kitchen TV show on PBS, and their cookbooks. America's Test Kitchen does the Cook's Country show also, but I like America's Test Kitchen more for some reason. I greatly enjoy how they break things down and tell you why things are the way they are, what they did to make it better, and how you can re-create things on your own at home.
The show has a Rosemary Focaccia bread. I don't buy Rosemary, and didn't bother with it either time I made this. I just used the Italian Seasonings grinder that I already own. I used it on the big grinder setting, and then I twist it to a small grind halfway through, so I can get a big bits, and little bits on my bread. I don't know if it makes that much of a difference? But I do it anyways.
You can find the recipe for Focaccia Bread on my recipe page. You can also view it on America's Test Kitchen site too!
I will admit I made the Biga, let it set for 24 hours, and then threw it in the fridge this time, and on the 3rd day, I made the focaccia. It still was delicious. When I first made it, I had cheese on it, and then this time, I forgot the cheese at the store. I liked it more when I had the cheese.

I love spending my Saturday mornings watching all the cooking shows on PBS. I don't have cable, otherwise I am sure I would watch a TON of cooking shows. But I am sure I would always tune in to America's Test Kitchen.
Is there a cooking show that you love? Let me know you try this recipe! (or well, any of the recipe's I have posted)
Your bread looks awesome, nice flavor with rosemary.
ReplyDeleteI love to watch chopped on the Food Network. Essential Pepin is good when I'm in the mood for that. If I didn't work, I'd probably watch Ina Gartner all the time. Triple D comes on a lot here too and my hubby and I pretend we are going to travel to all the diners and eat all the yummy food :)
