Kamel’s Focaccia Fino

by | Aug 21, 2014 | Bakers, Bread, Focaccia

Kamel Saci is a baker who grew up in Toulouse, but now lives and works in New York City, baking at Il Buco Alimentari e Vineria.  Among many things for which to admire him, I love his doughs for pizza and focaccia. Basic and simple, he’s posted the recipe on his website.

His focaccia fino is particularly interesting, a no-shape loaf of bread that is imbibed in olive oil and cut straight from a slab of airy dough, then baked directly to a golden sweet finish. Given my penchant for sourdough, I adapted it. There’s an amazing shelf life and sweetness to this dough. Here is what I got from a mixed hybrid adaption as I ran low of yeast!
