This Italian classic is currently being highlighted on social media in a special way. The light yeast dough for garden focaccia serves as a “screen” and is decorated with colourful creations using cut vegetables and herbs. Let your imagination run wild. Depending on the season and your personal taste, the dough can be topped so that the focaccia emerges from the oven as an individual work of art.
