Recipe
Focaccia
I have this amazing CIBO cookbook and Salvatore (who wrote it) shared this recipe for a simple-to-make Focaccia. Well, it sure is and we have it at home all the time as you only have to think about making it one or so hours ahead. Amanda prepared this recipe by Salvatore Pepe for Amanda's Easy Eats, Season 2023, Episode 07.
