Directions
Potato Focaccia, This round foccacia features potatoes, pancetta and fresh rosemary on the top of the loaf-almost a meal all by itself , We LOVED it! It rose perfectly and was wonderfully soft when baked The only change I made was use an onion, thinly sliced instead of pancetta since we don’t eat pork So I sauteed the onion in olive oil till caramelised and then added in the lemon zest and half of the chopped rosemary and used this mixture as the base and then arranged sliced potatoes on top and sprinkled the rest of the rosemary And instead of making 1 big bread, I made 6 mini foccacias Thank you, sugarpea, for sharing this wonderful recipe, I definitely will be making it again!
