Well, my hubby rushed back to Florida to avoid the snow and cold weather, but guess what?
We got some kind of crazy winter precip this morning!
It looks a little more like sleet but it was enough to keep all of us Southerners inside.
We’re enjoying the day though and I’m making my famous Focaccia bread today to go with lasagna and green beans! OH MY!
Photos from the beautiful mountains of NC earlier this week!
And here is a photo of a little heart I have been working on...adding some metallic thread, sequins and beads. I told Diane K. that I would show her my crafty project this week! Of course you’ll want to click HERE to go to her blog and see what beautiful things she’s making.
My girlfriend, Lila from Indigo Pears sent me the Susan Branch newsletter and I went to the website and enjoyed it so much I thought you might, too. Click HERE to visit Susan Branch.
Hope you’re staying warm and enjoying the weekend! I’m going to start a Thomas Perry book this afternoon!
He’s one of my favorite authors!
Here’s the recipe for the
Rosemary Focaccia Bread
2 cups warm water extra-virgin olive oil
2 Tbsp yeast 2 stalks fresh rosemary
4 cups bread flour kosher salt to taste
2 tsp salt pepper to taste
In a large mixing bowl, mix yeast into warm water ( with a tsp sugar), then mix in flour and salt. Blend with a spoon just until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Don’t beat! Cover, allowing the dough to rise, for approximately one hour and 15 minutes.
Brush a baking pan ( I use a cookie sheet or pizza pan) with olive oil. Pour half the dough onto the pan, then gently brush the surface of the bread with olive oil. With your fingers, pull small holes throughout the dough.
Chop fresh rosemary. I use some fresh, some dried and thyme to sprinkle over the top, along with the sea salt and pepper. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 to 17 minutes. Turn the broiler on for just a minute to brown the top if needed. Makes 2 flat loaves.
BYE!!!
