FABULOUS FOCACCIA FROM THE NANTUCKET BAKING COMPANY

The Nantucket Baking Company is not far from the hospital where Tom received his treatment in Grand Rapids, Michigan.  They specialize in old-world artisan breads and pastries.  I miss running into the bakery and grabbing a slice of their wonderful pizza. 


My favorite treat to bring home was their Sliced Tomato Focaccia.  I love bread.  Bread soothes and comforts me.  They say you can't live by bread alone, but I'd like to try.  This personal-sized focaccia is a party in your mouth. The toppings on this focaccia would also make a superb pizza.   

For a person-size focaccia, put some olive oil in the pan so the crust soaks it up as it bakes.  I will have a recipe for personal-sized focaccia soon.  One of Tom's last gifts to me was a brand new bread machine.  

Nantucket's focaccia dough is brushed with basil pesto and then sprinkled with chopped fresh garlic.  It is very garlicky.

The garlic is covered with fresh baby spinach leaves.  The spinach leaves are topped with pieces of goat cheese.

Thinly sliced Roma tomatoes and Greek olives top the goat cheese.

Grated Asiago cheese is sprinkled over the focaccia before baking.

Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!!!  I do!
