This easy recipe on focaccia bread is airy and salt, and I promise that it will be difficult not to eat the entire thing in one sitting!
The recipe also suggests different vegetables as topping, which enriches the flavor of the bread. This can of course be omitted if you want a classic focaccia bread. Furthermore, the vegetables can be fun to arrange so that they look like flowers or other creative shapes and patterns.
