  • About

For this recipe to work, the sage must be absolutely fresh. Dried sage will make the bread taste musty, which is unacceptable. The amount of sage indicated below is just a suggestion. You may add more or less, as you see fit.

Ingredients

  • 1 basic focaccia recipe
  • 20 to 24 fresh sage leaves, wiped clean, torn into very small pieces

Method

As you add the ingredients to the well in the flour while you are making your dough, add the pieces of sage leaves as well. Bake according to the basic directions for making focaccia. Serve hot, perhaps with a soft, mild cheese such as Crescenza or Stracchino smeared on top.
