Those look so delicious! We eat them with souvlaki and tzaziki sauce and next time, it’ll all be homemade thanks to you
That looks so good. What type of flour did you use? I am still learning about making my own bread (I found that whole wheat flour doesn’t work so well for foccacia bread ;)).
For flour I used 1/2 whole wheat and 1/2 unbleached… but I think that next time I am going to try all WW and I really don’t think that there will be much a difference…
