Tomato Basil and Garlic Filled Pane Bianco

2009 NATIONAL FESTIVAL OF BREADS: BREAD BAKING CONTEST WINNER "My goal in making this bread was to create visually stunning bread that makes you start to drool even before you have taken the first bite. This bread succeeds! This makes great snack bread or a quick, onthe-run bread. My mother-in-law is Italian, so I have worked for a few years to get just the right amount of flavor and authenticity to this bread." Dianna Wara, Washington, Illinois.

Sweet Life Sweet Potato Focaccia

This is one of the 2009 National Festival of Breads, Bread Baking Contest Finalist. This recipe was featured on the 2009 NATIONAL FESTIVAL OF BREADS: Bread Baking Contest show. "This focaccia includes extra nutrition and fiber through its use of sweet potatoes, which adds a glowing, golden color to the dough and a subtle flavor. This recipe is unintimidating, simple to make and incorporates flavors (olive oil, rosemary, and garlic) I often use with sweet potato dishes. This is delicious warm, but its also enjoyable sliced horizontally and toasted as a sandwich bread." Jessie Grearson, Falmouth, Maine.
