Our Thermomix Olive & Rosemary Focaccia is the perfect side to a bowl of soup or pasta... or completely delicious all on it's own (with butter, of course!).
Our Thermomix Olive & Rosemary Focaccia is based on the fabulous recipe in the Thermomix EDC - it's brilliant and fool-proof. BUT!!! We think that adding olives, rosemary and sea salt takes it to a whole new level of yumminess!
This is a super simple recipe that is delicious served with soup (especially when the weather is chilly), but it's also delicious on it's own. You can use any type of olives you like - I generally use kalamata olives, but green olives (with chilli!) are soooo delicious too.

I love this recipe and have made it several times!
I make it the night before and cold ferment it in the fridge. I fold it every few hours or whenever I think to to create lovely air pockets like a traditional sourdough has. I also press my fingers into it and drizzle olive oil over before baking so the oil pools down into the dimples.
It’s delicious!
Although, I do find that my olives tend to ‘pop out’! And fall off once baked. I think the next time I make it I might attempt to incorporate the olives into the dough itself .

I made this yesterday and I never make bread! It was so easy and so scrumptious. I think my friends were all surprised that I actually made something that worked out 😉 I had it with some truffle oil and let me tell you.... It was delish
