ABOUT Fougasse (With Whole Wheat flour )- Vegan RECIPE

Fougasse is the French version of the Italian foccacia bread. It is topped with herbs. Fougasse is flat bread that can be slashed to form shapes of a leaf or tree, or the slits can also be cut to form a lattice. This makes the bread easy to pull apart. Fougasse is a little chewy. Enjoy with warm soup or stew.
