Autumn harvest focaccia

Toast

Hi all

Thanks for the advice from those of you who responded to my question about green cherry tomatoes to be used in focaccia.  I went ahead and used them without pre cooking, and here are the results.  I used Peter Reinhart's pain a l'ancienne dough with 30% whole wheat, then made it into a focaccia after retarding overnight.  I topped it with olive oil in which had been soaked italian herbs and two large crushed garlic cloves.  As you can see, I used up all our remaining cherry tomatoes, in varying stages or ripeness, all of which were fairly small.  The green tomatoes softened up nicely while cooking, and had a slighly sour taste in the bread, which was a nice savory twist.

I had to smile; at first glance they looked like jelly beans :-)

Well done,

Jim

It would be the talk of any food-centric gathering :-)

I've been plotting a "harvest focaccia" of my own lately, using pureed pumpkin or sweet potatoes/yams. After seeing yours, I'm definitely going to try it next weekend.
