Pizza

Sourdough Focaccia - WIP

work in progress - In case you are hungry and want to find inspiration on what to cook check out some different recipe. This one takes time. Its super delicious and perfect to prepare for a party or any other event, but not doable for a spontaneous cooking session. For such occasions I would highly recommend to make yeast based focaccia instead.
