How to make FOCACCIA BREAD! VLOG

[@bdrummond5414]

My dad called me a little while ago and said “go look at what Jill made. I’d like that for Christmas” 😅 soooo the started came out of the fridge time out to prep for Christmas!

Thank you

Yum yum

[@janicevon928]

Love Nathan's response... It's just gonna get wrecked! 🤣😂. Amazing how you can make food into art! That is just beautiful!

[@kariem4759]

My dad taught me to warm the oven to the lower it will go, turn it off and close the oven door behind the dough to get a quicker rise. Works terrifically!

[@jenniferchristiansen2040]

You give me hope to learn hope I can make bread too.

[@lunachic03dh]

That is so pretty

Such a beautiful loaf of bread thank you for showing us how you make it. Very interesting to see. Love you all. Granny B

I make artistic focaccia and sell it at the farmers market. I always sell out fast!

[@chasingmoonlightfarm]

That looks FANTASTIC! 👌

[@theresatyree3090]

Strips of red and yellow peppers with the tomato in the center. Green strips of paper for the bigger grass. I’ve been following for quite a while. I looked up focaccia this morning and found this.

Uh oh now you gave the Mrs more bread ideas to make. She has been a bread making machine since she has learned how to make bread. 😆

[@CharlotteBugYouTubeVideosMore]

Fingers crossed that’s me in the new year! I think once I crack the code, I think it’s temperature, there won’t be any holding me back!

I'm making this for dinner right now. Gonna have pesto skillet pasta and roasted asparagus and roasted cherry tomatoes and balsamic for dipping 😋 oh and Pink Moscato! Gotta have bubbles with pasta! 🍾

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

That sounds amazing!

So glad your are making a sourdough play list this is something else I really want to add to my list of things to get better at lol

[@elizabethpayne4517]

So good, YUM 😋

[@nicoleolson1347]

I have killed 4 starters. A friend is bringing me hers so I’m hoping we are done with the dead starters. I bought the book though and I’m so happy with it! Your bread is like art! I can’t wait to get this starter right!

[@savannahbrewer7545]

Yes love bread I need to learn how to make all these breads gluten free

That was awesome! So cute too!

[@lauriesickles5393]

Work of art!

[@jasminelouisefarrall]

Looks delicious Jill 🙏💗🙏

[@l-egg-acyacres5732]

it has taken me YEARS to get sourdough right.... i wish i was exaggerating LOL but it has been well worth it, I really enjoy making it and the focaccia is super fun. I make a couple loaves every week and have been tinkering with how different flours interact. I have a gluten sensitivity and with the fermentation process I am able to tolerate sourdough. ---FYI - I love Old Dog Pottery!!!! Happy Baking!!!!!! and Happy Holidays!

[@sophier6700]

Made this yesterday. It turned out amazing! I topped it with garlic oil, chives, tomato slices and rosemary. Thank you for sharing the recipe.

[@judysiegmann1145]

Just Beautiful!

[@MsTexan1]

I just learned something new today. I didn't know that you could store the discard in the fridge. 🙃

[@kimberleyfriesenhahn2515]

A sourdough playlist would be great!

[@Hcollingwoodfoxy]

My starter is on day 4 and nice and bubbly. This is my first time trying to make a sourdough starter and I think its going well. I truly appreciate the sourdough videos you are making. I feel like I have no clue where I'm going but I'm getting there.

[@ginnysulya9805]

How cool is that Jill! Awesome job, very inspiring!

[@lindacasey1126]

That focaccia bread is a thing of beauty! You are a gardner and an artists! 🍅❤🍞

[@michelleslifeonrepeat]

Great tutorial. I’m always over hot in my kitchen, T-shirts and bare feet in Washington. I’m just always hot. And you are in your sweater and beanie hat, Im melting watching you. Lol

Just got this book and foccacia is what I'm most excited to try! Happy Holidays 😊

Yum. Great job! Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to you

[@growagarden54]

What is a bread starter? I see "how to make bread" homestead videos, but I've not seen one that explains what it is and/or why it's necessary, etc. So, videos are geared more to someone that already knows how to make bread from scratch. Can you maybe make a video for those like me that has never made bread but wants to learn? Thank you. Love your videos.

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

The bread starter is for sourdough bread and has live bacteria and needs to be fed to activate

[@christycoalson36]

That bread looked beautiful n I bet it was delicious 😋 this just may be the first sourdough bread I try to make. Thanks Jill ☺️☺️

[@diannemiller4754]

I bought her book on your recommendation...love it. I make the bagels and english muffins monthly. I use my discard to make waffles. I enjoy buckwheat waffles so I replaced 1 cup flour with buckwheat. I make a whole batch at a time a refrigerate the leftovers and pop it in the toaster.

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

Great idea, thanks for sharing

[@emilylong9887]

Looks so good. I’m just starting my sourdough journey. I’m going to save this recipe to try.

[@katrinamoore4115]

I bought the book she referred to during the video for myself. My family LOVE the focaccia bread and all recipes in the book.

[@katherineb6102]

That looked amazing and thank you for going step by step. I'm inspired.

[@lattelolly6925]

Wow! That is the prettiest Focaccia bread I've ever seen. And it looks supper delicious too.

[@kerryonregardless]

That looks deelicious Jill and the focaccia art is beautiful. Love it. Definitely going to try my hand at making one of those beautys. I watched your IG tutorial on a sourdough loaf and after a year of feeding and discarding I made a loaf for the very first time. Thank you for sharing this. 💚

[@marilynrafla6628]

When a gardener makes sourdough 🙂

[@dianaanderson6448]

It's a normal thing I've noticed for someone to either bake well OR cook well. Two totally different things. Sounds like you two are a great match since he mostly cooks and you usually bake. I do almost all of the cooking. I enjoy baking but it's a special occasion if I make bread or a dessert, since it's more time consuming. I am dying to try making sourdough bread tho! Hope your family has a safe and healthy Holiday!

[@tinataylor2698]

Great job and it is so pretty ! Happy Holidays 🎄 💜🌻💜

[@donnacriswell421]

Loved it!! You are so creative

[@faithfamilyhomestead]

Yayyy, I've been waiting for another bread recipe!! You helped me with my sourdough basic recipe and now I'm getting the hang of it!!

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

Girl you will love this recipe. It is easier than making a sourdough loaf and everyone seems to like it better

[@faithfamilyhomestead]

@@WhisperingWillowFarm ohhh well that's definitely a plus!! Thanks so much

[@Lyaworski123]

The heat Mat is a great idea! I will have to give it a try.

Love focaccia bread! Definitely trying this recipe.

[@meganwright2738]

Did you know that once you have a mature starter you actually don’t need to discard? Check out Lisa on Farmhouse on Boone and her sourdough videos.

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

Never heard that

[@heathermiddleton4958]

Jill, that looks so delicious. I've thought about getting a sour dough going but I don't think I'm disciplined enough to feed it everyday.

[@lunachic03dh]

If you put your starter in the fridge you don’t have to feed everyday. You take it out and feed it WHEN you want to use it. I just started making my own sourdough about a month ago, and I absolutely love it!!! It’s so fun and rewarding to bake a loaf!!

[@maryellenchristina6321]

Great video. Will start making sourdough after Christmas. I make Kiefer and feed the starter to keep it going, it seems like a similar process. Your videos made it less daunting!

[@oliviatyrrell4122]

That looks wonderful! I’ve heard that you can proof it in the instant pot with the Yogurt feature if you’re in a hurry but I don’t have any first hand experience. I wonder if it would be beneficial to keep a general gram/cup/tsp conversion in your head to avoid accidentally adding too much of one ingredient and having to scoop it out of the bowl. I know I get impatient and would most likely over fill things and throw off the chemistry 😂

[@jescelynknight9226]

Thank you for sharing this. Easy to make. It's my first sourdough bread that I've using my first time sourdough starter following your instructions. It tasted very good for my first one.😊

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

Oh yay!! So glad you enjoyed the recipe. It’s a family favorite around here and there’s so many ways you can experiment with it using herbs, flavored olive oils and different edibles

[@karenwesthead7357]

That is beautiful!

Hey Jill, Great video on making focaccia bread today , enjoyed it very much. I am going to make some with my 3 week old starter. My starter still needs a lot more time to mature I think.In the case of a starter , time is taste, can't wait.. Always a pleasure to visit.

[@susan-almosta_farm8823]

I'm sooooo excited you're going to do a sourdough series!! YAY!!!!! I've got that spatula from Ballerina Farm too! :) I love it!!

Hey Jill, do you have a tutorial on how to make Sourdough Ciabatta?

[@angelaraum1545]

Could you put Parchment Paper on the pan instead of all the Olive Oil?

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

Good question, I'm not sure

[@chasingmoonlightfarm]

Looks delicious!!

[@luludi3]

Thank you for this video! I adore bread art so much, I have a pinterest board just for photos of them. Yours turned out so pretty! 🥖🍅🌿

[@_modvault]

I refuse to pay retail for stuff like that, but I'm in a big enough city to have some other good options; not sure if Conway has something similar. We have a really good appliance repair company here that refurbishes machines, including extra large capacity hotel machines, and that's what I bought. Spent about $250 on an old but refurbished machine, and it's a BEAST. I think it's the Speed queen Quantum Gold. Technically it's a commercial machine but it looks like a regular (albeit large) white enamel top loader. It gets everything soooo clean. It will last forever, just needs maintenance every so often like a new belt or whatever. Even if it only lasts 5 years, I could by 4 of them over 20 years and probably only spend $1k. Or just repair the same machine and probably spend way less over 20 years. Highly recommend, especially for all the farm dirt!

[@wombat2379]

Looks amazing!! Thank you for the how to video!!! Happy holidays🎉

[@dmartin8203]

Can you give us an update on Ashley and her daughter from uncommon homestead. I keep checking her page and I'm not seeing anything. I did find her on Instagram, but I don't have it downloaded so I couldn't see much. We all need to keep her in our prayers.

[@maryannditullio2581]

Jill that was one beautiful bread I’ve ever seen! You made it look so simple which it is not. It tweeted my interest to give it a try! Thanks for sharing! 💕

[@frankhenderson2443]

So you don’t let this do a long bulk rise ? That makes it less sour nice! I used this same recipe but let it sit over night and it was really sour I don’t love it tasting too sour I’m going to try it fast like you did. Great job

[@iartistdotme]

AWESOME bread and decoration! I can't wait to try it. My sourdough is just too wet but I guess down here in Florida, I need to compensate for the high humidity and reduce the water. I've done anything wrong that you could do but have learned each time. So all is not lost - focaccia is my favorite and this video was GREAT.

[@creatorsofthelostart7148]

Looks super yummy AND beautiful! Is there a specific reason why you prefer to make sourdough over other types of bread?

[@lms3847]

Edit: I found it lol ! Where is the sourdough playlist ? I don't see it I was trying to find it.

[@elenacuthbertson2954]

When you feed your starter and put it in the refrigerator, how long afterward before you feed it ai?

[@socorrom5293]

Could u please post a starter or recipe using cups etc to measure? I don't have knowledge in grams or?? Thanks I woul appreciate it😊

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

Hey! I really recommend getting a cheap kitchen scale. I will work on converting my recipes for easier access but most sourdough recipes will work in the gram metric. Took me forever to learn lol.

[@chrissy9876]

I keep not doing sourdough because of the waste. Now I see you actually KEEP your discard?! WHAT DO YOU MAKE WITH IT?!?! I might actually do a sourdough starter if I have things to make with the discard!!!

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

I add the discard to pancake batter and will be trying English muffins with the discard

[@connieyarab7289]

Check out Ben Starr sourdough Baker... he teaches once your sourdough is established you no longer have to feed it, unless of course you are running low. Saves so much money and time, no more baby sitting/daily feedings.

[@alicekons28]

When storing the starter in the fridge, how often should it be fed?

[@Happyfarmgirl]

Can you explain why you discharge the starter. Is it because it spoils if it sits around?

[@Iamgigi1515]

I have not been able to successfully make started it’s so frustrating. But question how long do you keep the discard?

[@paigebarraza8054]

When you use your starter is that considered “discard”? Also, do you have to feed it before you use starter?

[@beckisublett7287]

Where can you direct me to find how to make my initial starter. I did purchase the artisan sourdough made simple book. I also found the Elaine foodbod website. I’m curious which flour to start with and do I need boiled water or just my Berkey water? Do I put in fridge or warm spot to start?

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

All great questions. I use my Berkey water and King Arthur's unbleached bread flower. Then I let it sit on countertop overnight

[@bridgetmcgowan4584]

Is there a recipe someplace, besides in the book?

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

Check out Elaine Foodbod's website

[@TheMilkhouseHomestead]

I’ve been meaning to ask you😊 is there a reason you choose to us bread flour vs all purpose flour for a sourdough starter? Planning to start doing sourdough and wasn’t sure which to use to feed mine. Thank you!

[@karenperri1360]

Hi Can you post the recipe? Thank you!

[@tearalewis7532]

I wish someone local to me in NC had some starter to share. I speny the 10 days a while back to build one and it failed....dont know why. I had shared starter years qgo i keept alive for 10 years, but lost after damage in a hurricane. Been having to buy our sourdough, its the only bread i can tolerate, and even that in small amounts. I heard that i can make this and other breads using regular yeast, and let the dough sit in the frige for several days to ferment? Anyone know about this method?

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

I'm working on dehydrating or freeze drying starter to be able to ship

[@marking-time-gardens]

@@WhisperingWillowFarmI will be praying that you are very successful! And would be very interested in purchasing some of your dehydrated starter! Thank you so much for the sourdough series. Christmas Blessings to you all! Holland, OH 🥰💗🌻🐛
