This Italian flat bread has got its name from the Latin word focus, which means "hearth". Italian style ingredients such as roasted peppers, sun-dried tomatoes, olives, fragrant fresh or firm ripe tomatoes will complement this bread dough to perfection. I have used a combination of cottage cheese (paneer) and cubes of mozzarella that melts just perfectly inside the focaccia. Focaccia is very similar to a pizza base but this recipe uses two pizza bases sandwiched with a cheese and basil mixture. Sea salt sprinkled on top of the focaccia gives it a delicious crust. Bake this bread just before dinner and enjoy it with a bowl of hot soup.
