TPK&B Focaccia - Garlic, Onion & Tomato

TASTING NOTES FROM THE CURATOR

The TPK&B Focaccia is naturally leavened, and has a wonderfully fluffy and soft inside. So deliciously chewy, with a nice crisp crust, it’s made even flavorful with its toppings. The garlic and onion add a great kick to the bread, earthy and savory with a kick. And the tomato gives a great sweet dimension that balances it all out. The Garlic, Onion and Tomato Focaccia is vegan!

But if you want a little more, and if you’re a cheese lover, you can also have it with Parmesan! This second variant has parmesan cheese included, and that gives it a nice subtle saltiness that brings everything together.

PREPARATION AND PAIRINGS

The TPK&B Focaccia is great to eat on its own—it’s so flavorful that it really doesn’t need much else with it! But it’s also great to dip into a balsamic vinegar and olive oil dip, as well as being a side for your pasta dishes (it mops up sauce so well!).

WITH LOVE FROM HOME

We are delighted to shine a spotlight on our favorite home bakers, and this takes the cake (or the bread!) Our connection with TPK&B started as a serendipitous meeting over the love of food. TPK&B’s head boss has been a seasoned client of The Bow Tie Duck for a while, and we are happy not only to be serving her with the best fine foods, but also to be enjoying the lovely produce that emerges from her home bakery, and getting the chance to share it with everyone else.

Baked with love, TPK&B prepares your breads in the mornings of your expected delivery day. To ensure that you get to enjoy this with the best experience, we encourage you to indulge as soon as you receive your loaves.

Storage Instructions

Best consumed upon arrival, but you can store it on the kitchen counter at room temperature for up to two days. If you’ve sliced into it, you can leave it cut side down on the chopping board. You may also place the sliced loaf in a ceramic bread box or a clean paper bag. Never store bread in the refrigerator, or else it will dry out. By the third day, you can place the bread in a large Ziplock bag, but please note that the crust will soften and your bread will require toasting to refresh it. For storage up to three months in the freezer, wrap your bread in parchment paper and place it back in the Ziplock bag.

To refresh frozen bread, take it out of the freezer to thaw in the paper wrapping for a few hours or overnight. Make sure it gets to room temperature. Preheat your oven to 175°C. When ready, spritz your thawed loaf lightly with water on all sides to create steam, place on a baking tray, and heat for 15-20 minutes. Allow bread to cool on a rack for at least half an hour before serving.
