Making focaccia bread art is not only fun but delicious! These edible works of art inspired by the creations of Vineyard Baker on Instagram are fun for the whole family to make. I recommend cutting one batch of focaccia in half to make two smaller pieces of bread and decorate them individually. That's what I did with my daughter and we had a blast!
I have been wanting to try this focaccia bread art trend for a long time. I am obsessed with the magical bread art that I see on vineyard bakers page. My favorite is this sunflower named Vincent Van Dough. I love me a good bread pun! I think we could be best friends.
At the time of this blog post, the world was in quarantine so our days are filled with lots of fun projects to keep ourselves and the kids busy. This was the perfect fun project for my five-year-old Avalon and I to do together.
Garden Focaccia Recipe
Start off with my easy focaccia bread recipe. I mix this dough up the night before I want to bake it. The long proof in the fridge gives it flavor and a lovely chewy interior with a thin and crispy crust.
Day 1 - In the late afternoon or evening, I mix up my focaccia dough and set it aside to bulk ferment (rise) in a warm area (70ºF). This takes anywhere from 2-3 hours because of the large amount of oil in the dough and depending on how warm your room is. The warmer it is, the faster the dough will rise.
After your dough house doubled in size, dump it out onto your work surface. Divide the dough into two pieces if you desire.

Stretch the dough onto the pan. I got mine all the way to the edges because I made a double batch but if you are using a single batch, just shape it roughly in the center of the pan as much as you can. Here is a beautiful example from Vineyard Baker.
Cover your sheet pan in plastic wrap to keep the dough from drying out and then place it into the fridge overnight for the second proof.
Day 2 - Take your focaccia out of the fridge and let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. You want the dough to be nice and bubbly before you start decorating so that the dough doesn't envelop your veggies. I like to prep my toppings while the focaccia is warming up.
How To Make A Garden Focaccia
Dimple the top of your focaccia as usual, add your olive oil and flakey salt. as directed in the recipe. Now you're ready to decorate! Go crazy! Have fun! Put the art in focaccia bread art!
After you top your focaccia, coat all the herbs with a layer of olive oil to prevent them from burning while you bake.

Avalon went under the sea themed so she had lots of fish and sea creatures on hers. I especially love how Avalon used the sliced shallots so they looked like octopus swimming. So clever.
If you have any bread leftover, cover it with plastic wrap and store it in the fridge. Bake it for 10 minutes in an oven at 350ºF to refresh it before eating and it will taste good as new!
This easy focaccia recipe is the best! Just mix, rest, stretch and chill overnight to let all that amazing flavor develop. Perfect for using as a base for those beautiful focaccia bread art projects.

My recipe or process how to make a Sourdough “Focaccia Garden” was borne of a slight obsession I have with all the amazingly creative and artistic decorated bread loaves you see on Instagram and other social media platforms. So, one rainy summer day I decided to join the Focaccia Garden trend and make one for myself. Eh voila, as they say down my way, I present my latest sourdough recipe for my Sourdough “Focaccia Garden”.
Easy No Knead Garden Focaccia Bread
I used my Classic Sourdough made Easy recipe as the base for this decorated focaccia bread, and then in the manner of a garden elf or fairy, I went foraging for the decoration ingredients from my herb garden and potager, with a brief foray into the pantry for any veggies that we don’t grow. Sourdough is such a great vehicle for focaccia, as this light sand airy Italian bread needs holes in it, which a well-bred sourdough will give you.
All you need to make this stunning Focaccia Garden is 500g of proved bread dough, preferably sourdough, lots of olive oil, herbs, vegetables, spices, salt
