No-Knead Focaccia Bread / 免揉佛卡夏面包

We are bread lovers. Our breakfasts are usually savory buns or assorted sandwiches made with the home-baked bread loaf. The boys prefer soft bread but T and I like crusty bread rolls and focaccia very much. Occasionally, I bake focaccia for the adults breakfast, and the leftover for the boys dinner served together with Japanese curry or  Japanese  beef stew. 

I have been using this focaccia recipe since we were living in Australia many years ago. I like how easy it is and the best part is that I can bake it with any baking pan I have. The aroma of the bread in the baking is so good and inviting. If you have time, let the dough rise in the fridge overnight (step 3). 

我家都是面包控，几乎每天都早餐都吃面包。除了用自家吐司做成的各式三文治和咸味面包以外，脆皮小法棍和佛卡夏面包也是餐桌上的常客。佛卡夏面包是一种意大利香料面包，一般会在表面撒上粗盐粒，或在表面小洞里填入香料如迷迭香，蒜和黑橄榄等。形状随意，厚度依个人喜好大约2-4公分。佛卡夏面包可做成三文治，也可以搭配主食或浓汤吃。我们家哥弟俩最爱搭配日式咖喱或日式炖牛肉吃。

这免揉佛卡夏面包食谱是从我早期住在澳洲时开始用到现在。记得最初是贪它做法简单也不需要特别模具，结果做了几次后就爱上了。迷迭香，蒜香和淡淡的橄榄油香味，是越嚼越香。
