Fougasse

Is fougasse, the famous hearth bread of Provence, poised to become the new focaccia? My local supermarket does one baked with caramelised onions and cheese and I’m always tempted to grab a loaf when I see them in stock, as they tend not to hang around on the shelves too long. It’s a simple, rustic bread flat enough to be topped with something like gently cooked sliced onions and cheese, rosemary, baked cloves of garlic or cooked pieces of bacon — whatever you choose.
