Italian Bread Focaccia

Overview

The process of making focaccia bread is very simple. Just prepare the ingredients in advance and put a few things together. No need to knead the dough. Just mix evenly and ferment until it is ready. Although the production is very simple, the deliciousness is not simple! The baking process is a process of enjoyment. The alluring aroma fills the room and makes you salivate! The bread is golden in color, crispy on the outside and has a strong aroma when cut with a knife. It is soft on the inside and moist and elastic in texture. The cut surface is very similar to the familiar steamed cake, but the difference lies in the taste. Add a little olive oil from the oil dish and wow, enjoy it!
