Focaccia is a delicious Italian pastry that can be a substitute for the usual bread. The base for the dish is made with water and yeast, which can also be supplemented with toppings: sausage, cheese, tomatoes, spices, or herbs.
Food blogger Julia Kopetsoni (julia_kopetsoni) shared a recipe for a flavorful focaccia bread on her Instagram page, which is made using the simplest yeast dough.
