FEAR NOT THE YEAST
If your yeast is dead, your bread
won’t rise. Make sure it isn’t expired
and keep a few extra packets
on hand: If the first one doesn’t
foam when mixed with lukewarm
water and honey, try again.
DIMPLES, DIVOTS,
DELIGHT
Focaccia’s characteristic
hills and valleys come from
handling the dough like you’re
rocking out on a keyboard.
For impressions that stick,
dimple just before you bake.
Tear a piece of parchment
that’s about the size
of a baking sheet. Fold
lengthwise, then slice
into two 13x9" rectangles.
Place the two rectangles
in the greased pan
in opposite directions
so you have a generous
handle on every side.
Once your brownies/
bars are baked and
cooled, use the excess
parchment as a
sling to lift them out.
