Focaccia is an Italian flat salted bread.
It can be made sweet also, stuffed
with fruits, nuts and sugar.
Fresh home made bread tastes better than
the ones you buy from market.
Variety makes it more exciting!!

keep it the baking tray.
Traditionally focaccia is a
flat bread.
I made focaccia into a loaf and into a bowl shaped,
to stuff it.
Brush the focaccia with olive oil and again
keep aside to rise for about one hour.
Brush it with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sea salt,
crushed pepper, rosemary, grated garlic
and grated parmeesan cheese.
For stuffing – sauté cubed tomatoe ,onions,
minced meat and flavour with lots of olive oil ,
coarse salt, rosemary and pepper.
Bake for 20 to 30 minutes according to the size of focaccia.
Focaccia is more like a flat crust pizza.
Coarse salt, rosemary and crushed pepper makes the difference!
