When I met my canadian husband in Italy, he didn't speak lots of italian, and I didn't speak any english, so we tried our best to communicate. It would take hours to understand a concept, we did lots of drawing on napkins and invented a variaty of words but at the end we always understood each other and had fun doing so.
My husband learned to speak italian very fast, and one day he told me :" tu sei buona come la focaccia", "you are as good as focaccia", I told him that we say "as good as bread" but he replied that he liked focaccia better.
How could I resist to a sweet canadian telling me that with such a cute accent?
Well I didn't, ahahaha!
Anyway here it is , a focaccia recipe that you will love too.
Usually focaccia is made with white flour but I change that and in this recipe I used unbleached and whole wheat flour, just to feel a little less gilty but you can use all white if you like.
Enjoy.
