Onion Focaccia with Rosemary

Focaccia is an easy bread recipe to execute and you can top it with whatever herbs you have on hand. I used onion and rosemary in this version.

Oh fall. You’re finally here. Break out the sweatshirts and yoga pants! Another thing that the cooler weather wants me think of is baking bread. Hubby and I agreed that even though he got in to baking bread pretty regularly at the beginning of the year, that it just wasn’t smart to have the oven on that much during the summer. Hence all the ice cream I made this summer (and don’t worry, I eat ice cream year-round, so there’s more to come for sure).

To ease back into bread baking, I decided to go with a simple recipe. I’ve actually never made focaccia before even though it’s such an easy bread to make. I decided to go with a recipe from Lidia Colavita. It was very fitting since I was using Colavita olive oil in my focaccia. They had sent a couple samples a few months ago and while Hubby and I use olive oil regularly, I hadn’t found a recipe that really highlights the olive oil to share with you guys.

This Onion Focaccia with Rosemary is down-right addictive. I had to freeze half of it just so Hubby and I wouldn’t devour the whole thing in one day.

I used very thinly sliced red onion and rosemary on top, but you could easily use any herbs that you have on hand. I did take the advice in the comments of the recipe and mixed half of my onion and rosemary in to the dough during the second kneading. This helped to saturate the flavors throughout the bread. If you’re looking for an easy bread recipe to make this fall, look no further. Give this focaccia a shot.
