Bari-style Focaccia
Bari-style Focaccia is a delicious leavened bread typical of Puglia. Soft, nicely oily, and with that crust around it that makes your mouth water just thinking about it. It is made with boiled potatoes in the dough, which makes it very soft, and is prepared with flour, semolina, salt, yeast, and water, topped with oil, tomatoes, and Bari olives.
