    Blackcurrant Focaccia

    ↓ Jump to Recipe
    Focaccia is great in the summer to have as an accompaniment to your light meals, barbecues and salads. I thought I’d add sweet blackcurrants instead and treat it almost like a fruity pizza. Blackcurrant focaccia is a lovely treat to use up that summer fruit. Blackcurrant Focaccia by BakingQueen74 This was delicious for breakfast, picnic lunch and afternoon tea! I only managed this single photo before it was attacked and disappeared before my eyes….

    Pin this blackcurrant focaccia for later!

    Instructions 

    • Make up your dough, leave to rise, then oil a baking sheet and press the focaccia into a flat oval or rectangle. See https://bakingqueen74.co.uk/wholemeal-olive-focaccia/ for how to prepare the focaccia dough.
      500 g strong white bread flour, 2 tsp salt, 2 sachet dried yeast, 2 tbsp sunflower oil, 400 ml cold water
    • Drizzle with sunflower oil, drop on the blackcurrants and press them down lightly.
      sunflower oil, 300 g ripe blackcurrants, caster sugar (superfine sugar)
    • Bake for about 25 minutes at 200℃ / 390℉ or until lightly brown.
    • Remove from the oven and sprinkle over a couple of spoonfuls of caster sugar.

    Notes

    I used this BBC recipe as the basis.
    My amendments were to use sunflower oil in the dough and replace the fine sea salt scattered on top with sugar scattered on top after baking.
    I made half the quantity here.
