SOURDOUGH VEGAN FOCACCIA
SOURDOUGH VEGAN FOCACCIA
A sourdough focaccia with tomatoes and rosemary is a masterpiece of flavor and texture, made without commercial yeast and relying instead on a wild sourdough starter. This slow-fermented bread develops a complex, tangy depth while maintaining an airy, pillowy interior and a golden, crisp crust. The olive oil-infused dough is dimpled with juicy bursts of roasted cherry tomatoes, aromatic rosemary, and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt, creating a rustic, herbaceous delight with a hint of natural sweetness. Each bite is a balance of crisp edges, soft chew, and rich Mediterranean flavors.
Perfect Pairings
Sourdough focaccia is incredibly versatile and pairs beautifully with:
• Dips & spreads – Enjoy with whipped ricotta and honey, garlic-infused hummus, or baba ganoush for a creamy contrast.
• Cheeses & charcuterie – Serve with fresh mozzarella and prosciutto, aged Parmesan, or goat cheese with a drizzle of balsamic reduction.
• Soups & salads – Dip into a warm bowl of roasted red pepper soup or enjoy alongside a fresh Caprese salad with basil and balsamic glaze.
• Grilled vegetables & proteins – Pair with grilled eggplant and zucchini, roast chicken, or a slow-cooked lamb ragu.
