It’s Real Bread Week, 19th – 27th February.

Real Bread Week is the annual, international celebration of Real Bread and the people behind its rise.

Organised by the Real Bread Campaign to encourage and help people to buy Real Bread from local, independent bakeries, and make their own Real Bread. Their mission is to find and share ways to make bread better for us, better for our communities and better for the planet.

So, get your aprons ready and stocked up on flour here is Cin Cin Focaccia recipe.

350g water

50g olive oil

10g salt
