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)
