White Bean + Jarred Artichoke Focaccia

Kitty Tait

Kitty is an incredibly inspiring 18 year old who found her love for baking at just 14. After months in the kitchen kneeding, baking + tasting, she created Kitty's Kits - a super simple no kneed no mess bread mix, all you have to do is add water, mix, wait then bake!

All profit goes towards free kits, time + tools enabling others to bake + eat good bread.

We've used one of Kitty's Kit's in this recipe to make a focaccia, stuffed with a white bean + jarred artichoke filling. If you can't get your hands on a kit, go ahead and make your own from scratch, or shop bought is just fine too.

Ingredients

1 Kitty's Kit (or a homemade or shop bought focaccia)
330ml water
40ml oil (olive or rapeseed)

To Top

Flaky sea salt
A bunch of rosemary needles and whatever else you want!

Filling

1 jar of Organic White Beans, drained
1 clove of garlic, crushed
1 lemon, zested and juiced
1 jar of artichoke hearts in oil, roughly chopped with 2 tbsp of its olive oil
30g parmesan, grated (or vegan alternative)
A bunch of basil (roughly 15g), roughly chopped
1 butterhead lettuce, broken into bite-sized leaves

Made with:
Organic White Beans

These white haricot beans are slow-cooked with a pinch of salt. Their ultra creaminess make them the perfect base for beany broths, a protein-rich mash or as a sub for rice in your favourite risotto.

Directions

The Focaccia

step 2
Pour all your ingredients into a large bowl and either with a spoon, your hands or a dough hook, mix into a shaggy dough. Pop a cloth over the top and leave for 10+hrs in a cosy corner.
(So if you want focaccia for breakfast, mix the night before and if you want it for dinner mix in the morning).
step 3
Lightly oil a rimmed baking tray, scoop in your dough, rub a little more oil over the top (over its belly) then Pop a cloth back over the top and leave to prove for another hour.
Preheat your oven to 200°C.
step 4
Give the focaccia a little drizzle of oil then top with the rosemary and sea salt (plus whatever else you might want). Slide your tray into the oven and bake for 30 mins until golden.
step 5
Once out, brush with a little more oil and leave to cool for 30 mins before slicing.

The Filling

step 7
In a small bowl, mix together the lemon zest, juice and the crushed garlic. If you haven’t prepped the rest of your ingredients do this now as it’s nice to leave the mixture to mellow.
step 8
Add the beans, the artichoke, the parmesan, the basil and 2 tbsp of olive oil from the artichokes into the bowl.

To Assemble

step 10
Slice the focaccia horizontally in half then open it up. Spoon the filling onto one half of the bread and top with the lettuce, then put the other half of the bread on top. Slice into smaller portions for serving (it can get a little messy when eating, so we recommend wrapping in baking paper before slicing to keep everything in tact!).

Creamy White Beans

Our Organic White Beans are slow-cooked with a pinch of salt. Their ultra creaminess make them the perfect base for beany broths, a protein-rich mash or as a sub for rice in your favourite risotto. Don’t drain, rinse or throw that “bean-stock”, CELEBRATE IT. We love them in this miso bowl or the newly invented, BEAN-OTTO.
