The best part is enjoying focaccine filled with mortadella, prosciutto, cheese or even baked topped with rosemary and cherry tomatoes. They're even perfect to accompany a lunch or dinner meal.

Focaccine...baked mini focaccia filled with melted, oozing provola cheese then topped with extra virgin olive oil, rosemary & salt which is a temptation you cannot resist.

Who doesn’t love fresh baked bread, I love the whole kneading, texture and baking process! Sometimes you don’t have time to go to the bakery or follow through the full bread proving process. This recipe is my fast version of a light bread roll. No need to prove the dough until you shape each roll and place onto lined trays. Then only prove for 30-40min and bake for 15-20min! You can use either butter or oil in the dough also. The result are gorgeous light, fluffy bread rolls
