Ingin cuba membuat Focaccia [disebut : Fo-Ka-Shia ]? Boleh cuba resipi di bawah ini. Membuat roti leper yang berasal dari Italy ini tidak lah sukar dan bahan-bahannya pun senang diperolehi. Focaccia ini merupakan roti leper yang bertekstur seakan-akan pizza dengan permukaan yang tidak sekata.Topping focaccia boleh dipelbagaikan. Untuk kali ini saya ketengahkan 'Onion Focaccia'.
