Introducing Focaccia Art: Instagram’s Newest Obsession

Isolation baking just got an upgrade

Ever since lockdowns began, many have decided to brush up on their culinary skills to pass the time. Celebrities like Chrissy Teigen (of course) and Lucy Hale have taken to social media to share their favourite recipes (mainly banana bread) for us to recreate at home, or at least attempt to. 

But it seems as though the world has exhausted every banana bread recipe around – yes, people even started making ‘boozy’ editions. 

They’ve now turned their attention to another type of bread. Foccacia to be exact.

Foccacia Art is Instagram’s newest craze, and as you’d expect people across the globe are putting their isolation spin on it. Going a step further than just baking the Italian favourite, many are creating stunning edible garden designs to go with it. Because it’s all for the ‘gram, after all. 

Just look at how creative people are getting:

Surprisingly, the recipe is fairly easy to follow and all you have to do is pick your favourite additions. Everything from capsicums, onions, tomatoes and olives are being used to create the floral arrangements atop the bread – you can really let your creativity fly with this one. 

We know what we’ll be doing this Friday night.
