Bread no. 15 : cherry & rosemary focaccia from the Martha Stewart July issue.

Adjustments : halved the recipe & used whole wheat flour instead of white bread flour.

Notes : this turned out a bit denser than I was expecting – almost like a cake – possibily because of the wheat flour or because the dough was pretty wet. I've made focaccia bread before and the same recipe could be applied here. Just add pitted cherries & rosemary to the surface of the bread before baking. Martha's steps were a little complicated and it's hard to say if they made that big of a difference.

Review : overall – pretty good. Paul LOVED it. I thought it tasted good, but was a bit of a hassle. Nice to look at though…
