Cute focaccia with bear design and flowers

Cute Focaccia Bread Art

Bites by Bianca
The recipe I used is "Overnight, Refrigerator Focaccia = The Best Focaccia Bread Recipe" by Alexandra. However, I added in 13 g salt instead of 10 g, and used the following toppings: spicy chili oil, random herbs from my pantry, flaky sea salt, caramelized onions, red bell peppers, and potatoes.

Ingredients

Toppings

  • 1-2 tbsp spicy chili oil
  • flaky sea salt
  • herbs of your choice
  • caramelized onions
  • 1 golden potato, cut into thin rounds
  • 2 large red bell peppers: one cut horizontally to get flower shapes, the other flattened to use cookie cutters on

Instructions
 

Prep:

  • For the bears: Use small + medium circle cookie cutters on the potato rounds to cut out the bear heads and ears. Use a small oval cookie cutter for the snouts.
  • For random shapes: Use the various star, flower, and heart cookie cutters on the potato rounds and flattened bell pepper.

Decorate the bread:

  • Dimple the focaccia with oiled hands.
  • Drizzle on spicy chili oil then scatter on herbs, flaky sea salt, and caramelized onions.
  • Top the bread with the bears. The potato pieces may move a bit after baking, but you can use egg wash to help them stick together if you'd like.
  • Add the other shapes throughout the bread, using the red bell pepper as flower petals and potato circles as the middles.
  • Scatter flower, heart, and star pieces of potato and red bell pepper throughout the top of the bread.
  • Bake focaccia at 325°F for 25 minutes, or until golden. Remove from baking pan and cool on wire rack.
  • Use black edible marker to draw on bear faces.
    *In the video above the recipe, I used the edible marker prior to baking. I actually recommend drawing the faces after baking—it's much easier and the ink is more opaque.
  • Enjoy!
