Fougasse is the French cousin of Italian focaccia, an oval white bread seasoned with olive oil and salt cut to resemble an ear of wheat. It’s remarkably easy to make using a few simple ingredients.
red onion, gruyere & rosemary - sprinkle the dough at step 5 after shaping with sauteed red onion, gruyere cheese and chopped rosemary
mixed herbs - simply sprinkle with your favourite chopped, dried, herbs after brushing with the olive oil. Try rosemary & thyme fougasse, or herbes de Provence
red onion, cherry tomato & rosemary
three cheese - sprinkle a mixture of grated Gruyere, Comte and Cantal cheese over the top of the fougasse after brushing with the olive oil
olive fougasse - knead in a handful of chopped, pitted olives before proving the dough
