Smashed Potato and Rosemary Focaccia

Smashed Potato & Rosemary Focaccia

by Alice Zaslavsky from In Praise of Veg
A one-pan bread bake that doesn't require any special skills. The crispy potato, salty olives and rosemary on the soft, facaccia dough make this impossible to stop at one piece.

    Please buy this book. It is without doubt, the most glorious cook book I've ever owned. I find myself reaching for it even when I'm not looking for recipe inspiration to simply soak up the joyousness of it's pages. I've learned so many cooking tips and invariably have a chuckle as Alice brings her engaging personality to light through each of the pages.

  • Vegan Substitutions
    Vegan substitutions were easy for this recipe:
    🍯Swapped the honey for maple syrup.
    🧀 I didn't have time to make vegan fetta, so I omitted this ingredient. Vegan fetta is also available from most major supermarkets.
    You'll find the full ingredient list and method on page 352 of In Praise of Veg.

Notes

I've not had much success, nor have put in much effort, into making bread. This recipe is consistently good for achieving a beautiful foccacia, without the need to have any special kneading or bread-making skills. I've baked it a number of times with success and it's become a go-to when entertaining or when I'm craving the carbs.
