What is "fougasse"?
Fougasse is a type of French bread that originated in the Provence region of France. It is a flatbread that is shaped like an ear of wheat, and has several cuts in the dough that create a leaf-like pattern. The bread is typically made from a mixture of flour, water, salt, and yeast, and may also contain additional ingredients such as olives, herbs, or cheese, to add extra flavor and texture. Fougasse is often served as an appetizer or snack and can be enjoyed on its own or served with a variety of toppings, such as olive oil, tapenade, or cheese.
