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.
