(Update from France — went to I’sle sur la Sorgue today for market day. Tasted some wonderful cheeses and sausages that we bought for dinner. We have a little bakery in our town of 1800 and the first thing I noticed was they sold fougasse bread. Trying to find a goat farm, olive orchard and wineries to visit tomorrow.)
Buy Valium Cheapest Online What is it about making bread that is so relaxing. Maybe it is the fact that it takes several hours to make with just a little work and then you produce this great smelling hot bread out of the oven that you can’t wait to get your hands on. I seem to make the biggest mess when I make bread. I have the flour all over me, the floor, and the counter. One would think I had never stepped in a kitchen before from the way I look with flour all over the place. I am not a neat baker to say the least but I think I can produce great things from the oven.

Fougasse is a type of bread associated with the Provence area of France but is also found in other regions with variations. Some recipes will have olives, cheese, anchovies. Normally it is rolled into a rectangle shape and slashed then pulled apart at the cuts to resemble a leaf. Some bakers make it more tree shaped. This is almost a focaccia type bread but is baked a little crispier than focaccia. My focaccia is wonderful so I couldn’t await to try fougasse to compare.
Most recipes I looked at suggested letting your guest tear off chunks of break instead of cutting it.

My first attempt. Ok, this is suppose to look like a leaf but doesn’t this look like a face with a winking eye, twisted nose and mouth. I will try this again to see if I can get more open spaces.

Make one cut in the center and three on each side.

The top gets brushed with some olive oil and then sprinkled with a little more Herbs de Provence before baking.
