I tried foccacia for the first time and I'm so happy with the results. I didn't have olives and rosemary with me so i substituted it for cherry tomatoes,garlic and mixed italian herbs.I loved eating it with cheese and tomatoes with egg.It was good for a week in room temperature for me😊.Happy baking everyone 🥳
