Focaccia bread is similar to a flatbread but fluffy and well seasoned on top. I absolutely love it with salads, soups and it makes a perfect Focaccia Sandwich.

  • In small parts, mix in the flour mixture. Once the dough thickens, you may have to use a sturdy wooden spoon to work it until it turns elastic. Alternatively, you can use a stand mixer to make the process a bit easier.
