Transform your kitchen into an authentic Italian bakery with King Arthur Baking Company Focaccia Mix Kit, designed to deliver perfectly crispy and airy focaccia bread with professional results every time. This complete baking kit takes the guesswork out of creating this beloved Mediterranean flatbread, making it accessible for home bakers of all skill levels.
King Arthur Baking Company, America's oldest flour company founded in 1790, brings over two centuries of baking expertise to this carefully crafted focaccia mix. The kit includes everything needed to create traditional Italian focaccia with its signature golden crust and tender, hole-filled interior. Focaccia originates from ancient Rome and remains a cornerstone of Italian cuisine, traditionally served as an appetizer, side dish, or base for sandwiches. This versatile bread pairs beautifully with olive oil and herbs, works wonderfully for paninis, or can be topped with vegetables, cheese, or cured meats for a satisfying meal.
The mix produces focaccia with the perfect balance of textures - crispy exterior that gives way to an airy, soft crumb inside. For best results, follow the included instructions for proper rising time and don't skip the dimpling step that creates focaccia's characteristic appearance and texture. Try topping your finished bread with rosemary and sea salt for a classic preparation, or experiment with caramelized onions, cherry tomatoes, or olives. This focaccia mix offers an excellent introduction to artisan bread baking while delivering consistently delicious results that rival your favorite Italian restaurant.
