I've posted other examples of my 72% hydrated Foccacia.

http://weightloss-slim.fit/node/33820/sourdough-focaccia%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E%3Cp%3EThis time I incorporated 3/4 cup of diced sun-dried tomatoes. These tomatoes, imported from Italy, are sold by BJ's. They are preserved in olive oil, and infused with capers, peppers, wine vinegar and other spices.

I incorporate a third of the tomatoes in each of three S&F before bulk fermenting overnight at 54°F in my wine cooler.

Super tasty! Great eaten alone, or as sandwich bread with raw onion and fresh tomatoes, salmon patties, or grilled portobella mushrooms with red pepper aioli.

I've made pizza with the same foccacia dough, and it was great. Ironically, both my wife and I prefer thin-crust pizza.

With such fine ingredients, and enhanced fermentation, it just has to taste superb. 5 stars on this one, David!

I don't post much these days, but I'm still baking as often as ever--but not experimenting. I've reached my "baking goals" I set five years ago. Now my cooking passion is focused on charcuterie. Nonetheless, I still visit TFL daily.
