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.
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!

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.
