A Foolproof Focaccia Pizza Recipe From Talbott & Arding | Eater

"Since 2014 this Hudson Valley shop, helmed by Mona Talbott and Kate Arding, has become a regional mainstay for meticulously sourced products and prepared foods designed to complement home cooking or serve as full takeaway meals. After seven years in business the owners are reopening in a completely renovated 8,000-square-foot space nearby this July, with an expanded pastry program, a larger pantry section, and fresh pasta. The business was built around high-quality complements—cheese, pastries, dairy, olives, charcuterie—and the goal of supplying everything needed for a perfect picnic or an elegant at-home meal: restaurant-quality but not fussy. Noting a local shortage of consistently excellent breads, the team began baking their own focaccia (inspired by a beloved Williamsburg sandwich shop), scaling a no-knead recipe into a thinner, very crunchy loaf that has become a signature vehicle for grilled cheese and seasonal pizzas; the focaccia benefits from ample proofing, even docking to produce medium-sized bubbles, and is excellent fresh or re-toasted the next day." - Sara B.
