Quick Focaccia Bread

This month we have the great inspiration of the Italian bread, the best of the best in this cuisine.
I love a good focaccia bread, but sometimes I don’t have the time to make it with yeast, so I try and experiment with different recipes and methods and found the perfect compromise to this delicious bread.
So easy and fast you will love the crunchiness and the flavor, a mixture of basil oil with oregano and parmesan cheese.
Perfect for a side in salads or pasta, and of course just for the pleasure of eating perfectly delicious Italian bread.
Enjoy
