I just tried this recipe after watching this video probably 8 times. I'm usually a cook that likes to add a little bit of this and little bit of that and really only use recipes as a guideline. Baking to me has always been intimidating because there's a reason to every measurement and step but this was the first recipe I wanted to try after getting my first stand mixer. I measured everything down to the gram, timed everything down to the minute and oh my goodness - it was all worth it. The outcome was not only crispy chewy and delicious but also probably the most rewarding culinary experience I've had yet. I can't wait to order the book to try more recipes. Love you Claire!!

INGREDIENT MEASUREMENTS IN METRIC UNITS: 870g bread flour* 708ml water (118ml for proofing +590ml more) 7g yeast 17g salt 110g EVOO + 55g for topping (101ml + 60ml if measuring by volume) *The amount of flour listed in the description was listed as 780g, not 870g. However, a lot of people including myself found that 780g produced a dough that was far too sticky and wasn't firm enough to develop gluten, resulting in a flat dough that didn't rise properly in the oven. I tried making it with 870g and it came out infinitely better. The listed weight of flour online ranges from 120g all the way to 145g which probably explains things. It might also depend on the brand of flour used/altitude etc so do take with a grain of salt and see what works for you. For reference I made this at approximately sea level using strong bread flour.

@donshults7772 6 ай бұрын

This is why it's vital to list the hydration percentage. The weight of liquid divided by the weight of the flour

@donshults7772 6 ай бұрын

According to the video, Claire uses 3 cups of water, which is 710 grams and 6 cups of flour, which is 720 grams. The hydration percentage from this video world thus be 98.6%

Thank you!! I tried to make this yesterday and every step I kept saying "this doesn't seem right" but everywhere on the internet said that it's supposed to be a sticky dough.. but surely not that sticky!! Wound up with a sad oily flat bread. The only other thing I could think was maybe adding the flour slowly- but more flour makes more sense!

So coming from an avid home baker, Claire has some amazing tips and tricks to baking that are just so helpful. She was entertaining on Bon Appetit but now she’s showing the world why she’s an excellent chef/baker instead of trying to re-create junk food that isn’t really applicable to people wanting to cook at home. Plus, her leaving Bon Appetit shows that she has enough self-respect and mutual respect for her POC colleagues to realize that Bon Appetit was also holding her back from doing what she *should* be doing on KZfaq. I’m happy to finally see her again!

@pocketofsunshine47 3 жыл бұрын

@@robbinsnest6163 "People of color" is person-first terminology, so instead of defining someone as "colored" they are referred to as a person who happens to be Black, Asian, Indigenous, etc. "Colored people" is also rooted in segregation-era America and many people would prefer to use other terms. POC is also preferred over "non-white" because the latter term puts emphasis on white people being the "norm" (ex. white vs. non-white people). I hope this helps :)

I'm not to shabby at bread making but as I've never tried to make focaccia before I was so pleased with how mine turned out after following this recipe! I made half measure (as I don't have a baking sheet that large) it just needed a longer first rise (2 hours) and a touch less time in the oven - Claire is right when she says go with the stages, rather than time. Mine was nicely brown after about 22 mins rather than the full half hour! Can't wait to try another of her recipes!

Made it today! So delicious and crispy! Yesterday I made focaccia from another but similar recipe, wasn't as good as this one + all the tips from Claire were really what made all the difference in my opinion!

@laurabiscaro8135 2 жыл бұрын

I made this recipe today and it's sooooo good! Couple of points, though: before making it, I saw that some people in the comments were having trouble with the flour quantities, so I decided to measure it in cups while using the scale, and I ended up with roughly 825g, maybe a little more than that. And that amount was perfect for me, the dough pulled away from the sides of the bowl as it was kneading, just like Claire's, and the texture after it was baked was bubbly and chewy, very delicious. Another thing that I'd like to point out is that the recipe asked for 17g of kosher salt, since I only had normal table salt, I decided to use 10g, and it was definately undersalted, so I'd recommend going with either the full amount or, at least, 15g. Overall, one of the best focaccia recipes I've ever made, go Claire! :)

@jmoricca1 Жыл бұрын

Yeah. With there being no water measurement in metric, I use the 3 cups of water but the 780g of bread flour gives me pancake batter lol… i usually end up with 825-850g of flour

@joshua.tiudic 3 жыл бұрын

I have a feeling Gourmet makes got to the point where the producers/directors were choosing snacks that they knew too well would be impossible to make "better". The show turned into "Claire tries to build a laboratory to try to get close to recreating this candy and fails". I've always wanted to see more episodes like the pop tarts one - she was able to actually create a GOURMET version of pop tarts. She was so happy that episode. It's really nice to see her do what she loves now.

@nodezsh 3 жыл бұрын

@@joshua.tiudic I share the sentiment. She started with stuff like Twinkies because they're a pastry, that makes sense, she did an excellent job and it was fun. Then BA got greedy. There was no good reason for making her do Pop Rocks. She knew it wasn't possible, she told everyone it wasn't possible, and well, it just wasn't possible, but she was made to try anyways and the episode got the same title pattern as the other episodes that sorta implied that she had succeeded. (side note, if they wanted to do that stuff they needed a food scientist, not a baker dammit) In the end, they didn't care about Claire's explicit and loud concerns and requests. They just cared about the views. When you're told to do the one thing you said you couldn't do, and made to try anyways… just, just don't do that, please. it's just so selfish.
