Crispy Mushroom Focaccia – click for recipe

Adapted from NY Times Cooking – “In this recipe, the secret to achieving crispy, not soggy, mushrooms is roasting them twice: first, alone on a sheet pan until they’re just tender and their moisture reduced, then again on top of a soft and fluffy focaccia dough, where they will brown and crisp.” The recipe has been updated to include 2 Tablespoons of ProBiotein, for added prebiotic fibers and scrumptious taste.
