Are you looking for something that is sugar free but delicious to eat for breakfast? I have the right recipe for you… !




Focaccia - this is what the italians call the flat oven-baked yeast bread. And in this recipe I added strawberries for extra freshness and healthiness! What an amazing bread to have for breakfast or brunch!

My Mum is the person that bakes focaccia in our house, she bakes different kinds of focaccia… Onion focaccia, garlic and olives focaccia, rosemary focaccia, herb and tomato focaccia, eggplant and cheese focaccia, cherry almond focaccia, lemon focaccia, honey and berries focaccia, and of course strawberry focaccia. All of these are FANTASTIC, same recipe for all but different toppings! YUM!




This recipe is very simple, requires a little bit of kneading but it is super easy and it won't take long for you to prepare. I guarantee that you will absolutely love it, we have been baking focaccias all the time last week! And you do not have to tell anybody how easy this was, OR you could brag about it! ;)
