The Inn at Leola Village’s Focaccia Bread

The Inn at Leola Village’s recipe for focaccia bread dates to the mid-1800s and was passed onto the business from the Amish family who farmed the land. Origin unknown, the base recipe was passed on from Ada Fisher, a local Amish woman who once lived on the land where the Inn is located. Her legacy is honored at the Inn to this day. The chefs at Leola Village put some rustic Italian flair into the bread to create their own signature recipe when the Inn opened. Enjoy the historical bread in the Inn’s Osteria Avanti, a casual restaurant, or at private events in The Spa. Interested patrons may even sample the bread as a member of the Chef's Table Culinary Experience. Guests can also purchase full and half loaves to take home.
