Focaccia with red grape, goat cheese, rosemary, and honey (customizable)

Unbaked focaccia with red grapes, fig, goat cheese, rosemary and honey

The base recipe for this focaccia comes from Sarah Jampel at Bon Appetit. As her title states, it is both “shockingly easy” and “no-knead.” Knead I say more? hehe

This recipe is easy to follow, comes together quickly (not counting the rise times), and it has the most delicious flavor and texture. I don’t think I will ever attempt a different focaccia recipe.

The deflating method in-between the 1st and 2nd rise is particularly interesting. Bon Appetit cites Alexandra Stafford for this technique.

To deflate: take 2 forks and lift up the side of the dough furthest from you and fold it towards the center. Rotate the bowl 90 degrees and fold over again. Repeat this process two more times to go all the way around the bowl and form a ball.

The recipe calls for baking it in a 13×9″ pan. I saw Ashley from Local Haven make the full recipe but divide it into two cake pans. This worked perfectly for me, too! This is great if you can’t agree on which toppings to choose 🙂

I made one with red grape halves, goat cheese, rosemary, and honey. For the second one I did everything the same but used fig slices instead of red grapes.

There are endless flavor combinations you can put on top of focaccia- from the classic garlic to tomatoes, squash, potatoes, etc! What are your favorite toppings?

Prep Time 15 mins
Rising time 6 hrs
Course Appetizer
Cuisine Italian
Servings 2 8″ cake pans

Ingredients
  

  • 1 recipe focaccia (see notes for link)
  • handful red grapes, cut in half lenth-wise (or fresh figs, sliced horizontally)
  • goat cheese
  • rosemary, removed from stem and thinly sliced
  • honey, to serve

Instructions
 

  • Follow everything as written in the Bon Appetit recipe.
  • If you want to make 2 cake rounds instead of 1 large pan, follow everything through deflating the dough and forming a ball. Cut it in half and place each half in its own buttered and oiled pan to complete the second rise. Then proceed to follow the rest of the Bon Appetit steps.
  • After you dimple the foccacia, press in the grapes (or fig slices), sprinkle with rosemary and goat cheese. Bake for 20-30 minutes. (See notes.)
  • Drizzle with honey before serving. Enjoy!

Notes

  1. I followed this Bon Appetit recipe but did not include the garlic cloves. I did keep the sea salt and everything else the same. https://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/easy-no-knead-focaccia 
  2. When I used 2 cake pans baked at the same time in the oven, it took about 22 minutes. Keep your eye on it. It is done when it is golden brown and slightly crispy on the edges.

New Recipe: Apple Cider Donut Whoopie Pies! Intr New Recipe: Apple Cider Donut Whoopie Pies! Introducing you to my favorite thing I made this fall- these whoopie pies! Whoopie pies are like little cake sandwiches (they may look like cookies but they are soft like cake).These whoopie pies are made with reduced apple cider, warm fall spices, and a spiced marshmallow filling. The tops are brushed with melted butter and a cinnamon sugar coating that will remind you of the apple cider donuts you get at the farmstand.I know you probably already have your Thanksgiving dessert picked out, but maybe you can make these with any leftover apple cider? You will not regret it. Wishing you all a very Happy Thanksgiving tomorrow!!.....#whoopiepies #appleciderdonut #appleciderwhoopiepies #applecider #falldessert #fallbaking #applepicking #kingarthurbaking #f52community #thebakefeed #foodtographyschool #foodblogfeed #anchoredbaking #thanksgivingdessert #falldesserts#marshmallowfluff #spreadthefluff
The hardest part of living on Maui is being far aw The hardest part of living on Maui is being far away from our family and friends for the holidays. This is a throwback to the mango macarons I made for our friends before they moved back to the mainland. We are missing them a little extra this week!The recipe is from @piesandtacos. It was my first time making macarons using the Swiss meringue technique, normally I use the French method. The Swiss method calls for heating the sugar and egg whites over a double boiler before whipping the meringue. I found the Swiss method resulted in a macaron batter that was a little sturdier and easier to work with. The macarons have homemade mango jam in the middle followed by a ring of mango buttercream. As always, I used the Golden Glow mangos from Yee's Orchard- they are the best! Camila of @piesandtacos has a fancy airbrush machine to paint the macaron shells (which looked SO nice). I don't have an airbrush machine so I used food coloring and a little vodka. Thanks to @barleyandsage for the inspiration! Hope you all have an extra special Thanksgiving week with your loved ones 🧡.....#thanksgiving #friendsgiving #macarons #macaronstagram #macaron #mangodessert #mango #mauibaking #swissmeringue #fruitdesserts #yeesorchard #mauiliving #anchoredbaking
Thanksgiving pie- Maui style! These are the passio Thanksgiving pie- Maui style! These are the passion fruit and meringue bars from @cloudykitchen. They have a graham cracker crust, a lemon passion fruit curd, and toasted Swiss meringue on top. These are delicious and very fun to make (especially the torching part)!This recipe is made in a loaf pan. Since I am baking for just the two of us most of the time, I really appreciate small batches. The leftovers stored very well in the fridge so you could easily make this ahead of time.I will definitely make this recipe again. Thank you, Erin, for a great recipe!.....#PassionFruit #lilikoi #cloudykitchen #foodphotopgraphy #mauibaking #smallbatchbaking #swissmeringue #fruitdesserts #thanksgiving #thanksgivingpie #thanksgivingdesserts

The bananas add sweetness and moisture, giving the cake a perfect texture. I topped it with a coconut buttercream and toasted coconut flakes to complement the banana.
