Provençal Olive Fougasse

Finally, a bread with lots and lots of crust! Recipe is from Dorie Greenspan's Around My French Table, p. 48, and is my first attempt at fougasse and French Fridays With Dorie. I did not use olives nor fresh rosemary, but the taste is still very good. Broken chunks would be wonderful spread with rillettes or paté and eaten with cornichons.

Oh don't you just love crusty breads...my favorite part is the crust too. Your bread is lovely. I also saw your post for the steamed fig pudding. Wonderful. Love steamed puddings and I also remember the steamed fig pudding. Enjoyed your blog.

did you put anything inside? I sprinkled cheese over a spicy herb spread on one of my two loaves and it was tasty! :)
