Playing with dough is my favorite game for the moment. I’m trying to understand bread and the magic behind it and I’m loving every moment of this journey.
This focaccia bread was one of my last bakes, and disappeared in few minutes. It’s so easy, yet sooo good. You can enjoy it as a snack or make sandwiches filled with all the goodies. It’s all up to you.
