FOCACCIA BAKING

Participants proudly display their edible creations during a Focaccia Bread Art class at Land O’ Lakes Arts (LOLA). Instructor Corinne Bertoni Duerkop, using her grandmother’s recipe, guided ten women through the process of making and decorating the Italian bread with ingredients like peppers, seeds, carrots, onions, and spices. The fragrant, beautifully decorated breads, baked in LOLA’s upper classroom, showcased each participant’s unique artistic flair. —Photo by Bob Hughes
