Recipe video above. Forget the pale, too-sweet pillow bread that fuelled the focaccia rage of the 90's. This is how Focaccia should be - crispy on the outside, yet moist and fluffy inside with a little chew. This authentic Italian bread is bursting with character and impossible to stop eating at just one slice!
