| World Bread Day |
| Sunday, October 15, 2006 |
Yes, tomorrow is World Bread Day. I couldn’t miss out the chance to participate in this event, hosted by Zorra of Kochtopf. Actually I had never participated in blogging events like Sugar High Fridays, but when Rene(thanks a million, Rene!) informed me of this event, I couldn’t miss the chance to talk about my favourite food – bread!
I guess my blogger friends would have known by now that I am a major bread addict(I jokingly call myself MBA), baking bread at least once a week, and that would usually be my breakfast loaf for the week. I do not have actually have a favourite bread, though I have a favourite category, which is rustic style breads, those with a crusty exterior paired with a chewy crumb, best eaten dipped into some balsamic vinegar and olive oil, or served with some nice cheeses. That, to me, is an enjoyment.
I was debating what bread to bake for this event. Since I am from Singapore, should I make some Asian style buns, which are usually very soft breads that encase a sweet(eg custard) or savoury(like sausage) filling? Or stick to my favourite kind of breads, which generally takes more time to prepare due to the long fermentation times? I chose the latter(no surprises here huh?)
Here is what I made for this event - Rosemary Focaccia.
 I have made this Italian Bread previously. This time, I chose to shape it into a foccacia – Italian flatbread. To make it more interesting, I chose to ‘plant’ something into this flat ‘dough field’ - like this.
Here's the kind of crumb which fascinates me
 It had been fun baking this bread and now, writing about it. There will be a round up of all the entries submitted to Zorra on 17th October. I can’t wait to see an ‘international’ basket of breads from various parts of the world.

Hip hip hurray Angie!!! I totally fall in love with your focaccia, it looks good entirely from inside out! No one can resist it esp it just out of the oven!

Angie, the bread texture looks so good - better than the last time one, right? A BIG thumbs up for the deco. To me, I find it makes the bread looks very appealing!

I love it how your rosemary looks like it's growing out of the bread. I don't normally make fancy-looking breads like these because I take the easy way out and use a bread maker hahaha!
-

Lovely!
My attempt at foccacia was a horrible flop... that's what happens when you forget to add the yeast.. ugh!
I have since redeemed myself.
