I cooked this one in the oven, but I have done this in the LBGE in the past, after cooking a pizza, letting the Egg cool a little and using residual heat. It's topped with rosemary, sea salt and Dizzy Pig Shakin' The Tree rub. I made a loaf for "Red Nose Day" charity event at work, it all sold.

    I was a little skeptical about the use of Shakin' the Tree, but the advice came straight from a FB chat with Dizzy Pig, worked a treat. SWMBO was a bit gutted that she didn't get any, but it was going to a good cause. :D

    Thanks folks.

    As said in the OP, I've used the LBGE to make this (and normal bread) after making pizza. This is (a) to make best use of the residual heat in the ceramics as the Egg cools and (b) because after a pizza cook, there is no smoke being generated from anywhere, so no chance that the food will have a smokey aroma ... except for the pancetta, which is supposed to be smokey anyway.

    Timing is important though.

    The method I use to make the focaccia is minimal knead/autolyse, and takes around 3 hours prep time before baking. The Egg needs to be at 240C/460F, with the pizza stone still in it and warm.

    For me, I start the focaccia prep around 90 minutes before lighting our LBGE, the next 90 minutes is the time it takes for the Egg to get to 400C, warm the stone, cook the pizza and cool to 240C. The Egg looses a bit of heat when the dome is opened and closed, ends up at 220C, which is about right.

    Your timings might be different of course, just depends on (a) how hot you cook pizza and (b) how long you let the pizza stone warm.

    Lastly, as with pizza, I cook the focaccia raised into the dome.
