Garlic focaccia: easy like a Sunday morning
Sunday morning. A wee bit over-tired after a lovely lazy meal with friends on a hot summer Saturday night. What better way to fumble into the day than to mooch around in my nightie baking Meera Sodha-style vegan garlic foccacia as featured in Guardian Feast Issue No.182?
It’s win-win: you’ve faced a potentially lost day, achieved a loaf to sigh for and gained a garlic aura that no vampire will breach
Undemanding and therapeutic, bread-making – with its blend of mixing, kneading and resting – has a way of easing you into a daunting or unpromising Sunday. Plus, there’s the certainty of a comforting fresh-from-the-oven loaf to look forward to for brunch.
I’m not going to warble on about the process of making Meera’s ten-garlic-clove focaccia: take your time, follow the instructions, leave time for the proving (during which you do something undemanding like, say, clean your teeth, have a shower, read the paper, or sit quietly in a cool, dark corner), and enjoy pressing oil dimples into the bouncy dough with your fingertips when the time comes.
It’s win-win: you’ve faced a potentially lost day, achieved a loaf to sigh for and gained a garlic aura that no vampire will breach.
Meera’s tip to have a platic dough scrpaer handy is invaluable with this dough 
See what I mean? 
Garlic oil ready to crush and infuse 
Am I the only person in the world who can never tell if my dough has ‘doubled in size’? 
Not quite the right pan but the dough pushed in nicely 
My favourite part: creating oil dimples in my dough pillow with my fingertips 
Crunchy golden-crusted focaccia 
Just add ten-clove-garlic-infused oil titillated with fresh parsley 
Yum
