Focaccia is an easy bread to make at home. Crisp on the outside and soft inside, it is perfect to serve with breakfast, lunch and dinner. We have used our Vinofood Marinated Kalamata Olives as the infused flavours add a wonderful Mediterranean flavour to the bread. Experiment with different flavours to create your own version.
