In this episode of “Piatto,” we demonstrate how to use a KitchenAid Mixer (The KitchenAid Professional 600) to make a classic Italian focaccia. Of course, you can use this bread recipe with any brand of stand mixer.
Of all the KitchenAid Mixer bread recipes you can make, Italian focaccia has got to be one of the easiest and tastiest. The result is a soft, spongy focaccia bread recipe with the classic airy texture for which the Italian focaccia is famous.
This Italian focaccia with fresh rosemary is a classic Italian recipe. Feel free to substitute fresh thyme for rosemary.
TIP: When kneading for 15 minutes after water, milk and oil have been added to the flour, use setting ‘4’ of your Kitchen Aid Mixer.
TIP: In the US? Red Star instant yeast
