Focaccia Genovese

Looks pretty perfect to me Susan!

I know exactly what you mean with regard to understanding one particular iconic product, you have certainly captured the look of Focaccia Genovese and I'm sure it tastes just as good too!

I watched your insta post and thought it was really informative. I liked the importance you highlighted of the ratio of dough weight to pan size, until now I didn't really give that much thought.

I anticipated the one about hydration, I am so with you there! It's funny how recipes travel outside of their home.

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for posting this Susan, and especially the link to your insta video.  You make a convincing case for having spent half a lifetime refining the recipe.  Fun to hear your passion but better to taste that bread.  Inspired to try one now that Fall weather is more conducive to running an oven.  We OD'd on focacce out of Panificio Pinamonti in Santa Margherita a few years back. I didn't know Varese has a focaccia tradition.  Thanks for that -- any local food tradition is the best excuse to visit a new place.

Looks like Castello Brown ... maybe?
