Focaccia Barese

by Nancy S. Mure

Here’s a recipe I acquired from www.cookingwithnonna.com.  I believe it originates from Bari.  I made it as a Mothers Day treat.

Despite measuring ingredients with a ‘real’ teaspoon and an 1/2 cup-measure espresso cup, this recipe was fun, easy to follow, accurate and true to an Italian Mother’s cooking.  Just be sure to have a 14 inch, round baking pan on hand to complete the job.

Enjoy Focaccia Barese on its own, with a nice red table wine or as a sandwich with prosciutto, mortadella or mozzarella.

Happy Mother’s Day!
