Every year, the first thing I make when we have cherry tomatoes is #GennaroContaldo’s tomato loaf from #GennarosItalianBakery #homegrown tomatoes & basil #mymenuplan bournemouthecho.co.uk/leisure/taste/…

The recipe is from Gennaro's Italian Bakery - every recipe I have tried so far works the first time. And the doughs are wonderful. The only complaint is that (for the flour that I am using) there is a difference in the weight and volume measures he gives. The cup measures give you too much flour for the yeast and water. So I use the weight measures.

He makes a very simple pizza bianca (ie pizza without tomato sauce as its foundation layer), with almost no toppings at all. Google if you want more exotic ones. But I love a bianca with just evo, garlic, salt, so I am onboard with him. (Sometimes I add potato slices.)

To make PB, take your fav pizza dough, roll it thin, add any toppings prior to baking, bake 10 mins in very hot oven. Add any post-baking toppings eg rocket or basil.

Here it is, the Focaccia al Sale, straight out of the oven.
