While I don’t eat bread often, I am always making bread – just because I love baking breads. I have very happy bread-loving friends who benefit from my regular bread making.

Focaccia is a flat, Italian, oven-baked bread. The dough is flavoured with olive oil and sometimes topped with herbs and vegetables. You can make savoury or sweet Focaccia. The most popular herb with which to top Focaccia is fresh rosemary but other toppings that you can use are olives, tomatoes, caramelized onions and scallions/green onions. A light sprinkling of sea salt is quite a delight when biting into the dimpled bread.

Focaccia can be eaten as is, dunked in soup or sliced to make sandwiches. I generally eat it
