The simplest and at the same time delicious Italian bread. Focaccia is made with 4 ingredients and water (it couldn't be simpler) and you can make the most delicious sandwiches with it.
It comes in many versions but I decided to make the simplest one... with salt and rosemary. Besides, I love anything simple. Focaccia is eaten plain, just as it comes out of the oven, but it is also perfect for sweet or savory sandwiches.
The recipe for traditional, authentic focaccia calls for:
warm water (not hot), dry yeast, sugar substitute, bread flour, salt and olive oil.

- Uncover, pour 1/4 cup olive oil in the pan where we will bake the focaccia. Pour the dough on top and spread it with your hands. At the end we also make dents with our fingers.
- Cover with film and put back in a warm place for another hour.
