Piece of life<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I looked at my Instagram feed a few days ago, I faced the recipe of sweet focaccia with cherries and thyme from Carine of the “Chic, Chic, Chocolat” blog. As you know, I recently fell in love with focaccias, but I had never seen a sweet version of it. My curiosity was piqued, and I started to snoop around. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I found that the sweet focaccia originated from a village in Italy, Alexandria, in the Piedmont region (northern Italy). The recipe is simply a version of the classic focaccia, to which milk and sugar have been added. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

About the Sweet Focaccia with Lemon<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The recipe is really simple. It consists of a classic yeast dough with its regular rising time. I followed the recipe on the RAI (Italian TV channel) website. The only variation I made was to add the lemon zest (green lemon) in the brine that covers the top of the focaccia, but you can ignore it or replace it with other flavours. And rightly so, let’s talk about this brine! It allows the focaccia surface to caramelize, giving it a crispy and tasty crust, a delight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
