You Can Do It!

I got another issue of Bon Appetit in the mail the other day and happened upon another must-try recipe... the Rosemary and Onion Focaccia!

Oooooh Aaaahhhh... isn't she a beaut?
Yeah, that's Bon Appetit's photo...

Here's mine.

It's a work in progress.

I decided to jank up the recipe by not following the directions and using part whole wheat flour. In turn, when it was time for this piece of art to proof, it didn't. Well, it did. Just minimally. Not into the giant pillowy blob that I was expecting...

We'll see how it goes tomorrow. Story with this dough is that you make it, set it out for an hour, then refrigerate it overnight before giving it the royal treatment of a good ol-fashioned massage, oiling, and seasoning.

I just peaked in the fridge in hopes of some progress, but nope. Nothing.

This is exactly why I hate baking.

But hopefully that doesn't squash your dreams of trying this recipe because it looks legit. Just use common sense and follow the recipe as directed and don't try to be a whole wheat hero like me, because you will then be in the loser's circle right alongside yours truly. 

Bad, ugly, and/or completely inedible, stay tuned for the conclusion of this whole wheat experiment tomorrow!

Chemistry is why baking is terrible. And it's not like you can fix the recipe once it's been messed up. Not like adding too much salt to pasta... just add some cream/butter/tomato sauce.
