fougasse
Provençal slashed bread
Fougasse is a flatbread from Provence, typically slashed with cuts that give it a distinctive leaf-like or ladder appearance.
The slits create more crust surface and allow even baking.
Often flavored with olive oil, herbs, olives, or cheese, it's related to Italian focaccia: We picked up a fougasse at the bakery.
