Since a Top Ten list would make this blog post too long, I’m splitting the posts up into ten individual posts, showcasing one spice at a time.

Recipe Post: Sea Salt and Thyme Focaccia
Of all the bread products I love to bake myself and eat in equal measure, my favourite would be focaccia. I’d say croissants, but those are far less fun and take far more time and effort to make than to eat, and I’m just not *that* masochistic. Never mind that I justified purchasing my pricy…

The first time I made these, he…
