Sweet Rhubarb Focaccia image

Here's a surprising twist on the traditional savory focaccia: a sweet and tart tangle of rhubarb rests atop a light and chewy bread which is then sprinkled with raw demerara sugar for a satisfying crunch.

Time 1h15m

Yield 1 (9-inch) focaccia

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 ball focaccia dough (see recipe)
5 ounces thinly sliced rhubarb (about 1 1/2 cups)
1/3 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon demerara (raw) sugar

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 450 degrees. In a small bowl, toss rhubarb and granulated sugar. Let stand, stirring occasionally, until fruit releases its juices and sugar dissolves, 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Strain rhubarb juices into a small pot and reserve rhubarb. Simmer juices over moderate heat until thick and syrupy, about 3 minutes. Pour olive oil into bottom of a 9x13-inch baking pan. Pat dough evenly into pan, leaving a small gap between dough and edges of pan. Dough should be about a half-inch thick. Scatter rhubarb over dough; brush generously with syrup. Sprinkle top with demerara sugar. Bake until focaccia is golden brown, about 20 to 30 minutes.

This focaccia was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think it would be great with less sugar.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my focaccia turned out dense and gummy.

I'm not usually a fan of rhubarb, but this focaccia was delicious. The rhubarb flavor was subtle and not overpowering. The bread was also very soft and fluffy.

This focaccia was amazing! The rhubarb added a tart and tangy flavor that balanced out the sweetness of the bread. I also loved the crunchy topping. This is definitely a recipe I'll be making again and again.
