Winemaking
The Italian cuisine has its enthusiasts all around the world. The best evidence of that is the prevalence of pizza parlours, which are present even in the smallest towns, also in Poland. There is no doubt that pizza, next to pasta, is the first thing that comes to mind when one thinks of Italy.
Focaccia is a kind of bread similar to a pizza base. It is served as a starter, usually hot. It can also be a tasty snack. We can add various toppings to it, such as olives, rosemary, tomatoes, onion, chives, and many other. This Italian bread is an excellent way of showing not only your culinary, but also artistic skill, as the vegetable toppings on a focaccia can be arranged into beautiful images.

The recipe we provide is a simple version of focaccia - with salt and rosemary. It tastes best when served with olive oil.
Preparation
Add all the ingredients into a bowl, mix them thoroughly, and then knead the dough for about 10 minutes until you obtain a smooth and flexible ball. Leave the dough so prepared to double its volume in a warm place, covered with a cloth, for about 60 minutes.
Knead the risen dough again and move it to a 30×40 cm baking pan greased with oil or lined with a baking paper. Do not roll out the dough - just stretch it gently and form it into the right shape. Sprinkle rosemary and salt on the dough surface (or arrange other extras). Leave the dough for another 45 minutes. During that time, heat the oven up to the temperature of 220℃. Sprinkle the risen dough with olive oil and bake it for 15-20 minutes, or long enough for it to obtain a golden colour.
