Fig and Mascarpone Focaccia
Coarse kosher salt sprinkled on focaccia both tastes and looks great. Mascarpone melts into the dough to create a rich, buttery crust that won our Test Kitchen's highest rating.

This bread is neither sweet nor savory; more of a hybrid that isn't very good at being either. Whether the bread itself needs to be sweetened or simply more of the toppings added I'm not sure, but it needs "something". Granted I did use all white whole-wheat flour (starting with a boule and using a slow rise in the fridge with half the yeast), but this would not have adversely affected the flavor. Perhaps a good appetizer bread or one to have with a salad, but I'm not sure I would make this again - at least not without some tweaking.
Read MoreI'm made this a couple of times and it turned out beautifully. I love figs, so maybe that's why I think it's so great :) I have made a sandwich using it with leftover ham and some apples, and it was even more delicious. Will make over and over!
Read MoreReally delicious. You have to really like both fig and marscarpone - which I do. I can imagine making the bread with other toppings as well. I will definitely try this one again soon!
