What to Bake this Weekend: Two New Focaccia Favorites!


Have you tried sourdough focaccia bread yet? It's one of my favorite sourdough recipes ever! And this week I shared two new recipes for sourdough focaccia - a honey butter sourdough focaccia and a blueberry lemon sourdough focaccia.

Both would be perfect for a delicious weekend bake!

Honey Butter Sourdough Focaccia: My viral croissant sourdough bread turned into focaccia and drizzled with honey - this one is a favorite!

Blueberry Lemon Sourdough Focaccia: The perfect spring sourdough bake - crispy edges, soft middle, and the pops of blueberries and lemon. You've got to try it!

Weekend-Only Deal: 30% OFF Thermapen ONE!

I've been a long-time fan of Thermoworks thermometers (my go-to gift for my husband), and I use the ThermapenONE for my sourdough - total game-changer!
