Summer has been quite busy so far and so many things including updates to the blog have taken a back seat. Even with the zillion number of things going on, I could not resist baking this bread ever since my friend Rachel mentioned to me. I am always on the look out for new things to try with the sourdough starter and this one has been my favorite so far. You can add any toppings of choice and it is an easy peasy bread. The dough is pretty much of pourable consistency and that means, no rolling.

Thanks to my stand mixer, I do not even touch the dough. It does the work for me. I have already made this twice and planning on trying with cumin and onions next. Yumm . The bread is so flavorful and you can have it as a snack or for dinner along with soup. Off to the recipe. Recipe from here. I have earlier posted potato focaccia, focaccia caprese and a no knead focaccia.

My Notes
1. The dough will be of pourable consistency.
2. Rather than drizzling the oil, I dipped my finger in it and made dimples. Otherwise the dough was too sticky to hold the dimple. Drizzle the remaining olive oil.
3. Original recipe also uses a sprinkle of coarse sea salt. I skipped it.
