Fougasse

Fougasse is a traditional French flatbread, often decorated with cuts or patterns that create a leaf-like or artful appearance. Made from a simple dough of flour, water, yeast, and salt, it is baked until golden and crispy. Fougasse can be flavored with herbs, olives, or nuts, and is enjoyed as bread or snack. Its distinctive design not only makes it visually appealing but also helps the bread bake evenly, creating a crunchy crust while remaining tender inside. Often associated with regions like Provence, fougasse reflects local culinary traditions and craftsmanship.
