The fougasse is a bread typical of many different regions of France though it is often associated with the southern, Mediterranean region of Provence. There the bread is usually adorned with olives and herbs. It is perhaps most closely related to the Italian focaccia.

The shape of a leaf is one of the more popular designs of this fantastic loaf. By scoring the bread in this way the amount of surface area is increased and there is more opportunity to pull of a deliciously crusty section.

About 10 years ago when my wife and I took a late October vacation to Provence (after the crowds had departed) one of the first things that we ate (as we were starving right off the airplane) was a loaf of Pain an Noix (Walnut Bread) that was being sold at a roadside stand. We hadn't yet made it to our room and we could see the steam rising up from the booth as we first drove by. The smell hit us instantly and we had to turn around. We devoured the whole loaf immediately and knew we were in for an amazing vacation!
