Milk, Turmeric, and Potato Focaccia with Herbes de Provence
Today I made focaccia with just a few simple ingredients: a mix of all-purpose and bread flour in different proportions, turmeric, black pepper, herbes de Provence, and dried sourdough starter. I kneaded the dough with warm milk. Since I was short on time due to work, I made the dough the day before and let it rest overnight in the fridge. The next morning, I took it out, let it rest for 30 minutes, then spread it out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. After it doubled in size, I topped it with thinly sliced potatoes and a brine made with olive oil, salt, and water, then baked it in a hot oven for about 20 minutes. The result: a focaccia that's crisp on the bottom, soft and fragrant! What do you think?
