Nancy Silverton's Focaccia

 100% Wholemeal Rosemary Focaccia

In my last post I mentioned that my focaccias, following Peter Reinhart's receipes, had a slightly chewy interior and crispy oily base. In comparison, the Gardenia focaccia that my mother has in the past bought is has a dry and dense crumb. No hint of oil at all. Had I done my focaccias wrongly?

100% Wholemeal Rosemary Focaccia

After a long week at work, I was eager to do some baking - my new stress relieving activity. So far I had baked just ordinary wholemeal sandwich loaves and wholemeal cinnamon swirl bread for mom. I wanted to try some other kind of western bread. After leafing through Peter Reinhart's Whole Grain Breads, I settled on giving his whole wheat focaccia receipe a shot.
