Welcome back to Bread Burg Baking!
Today we’re making one of the most iconic leaf-shaped French breads: Fougasse — beautifully crispy, aromatic, and surprisingly easy to prepare at home.
This recipe gives you the perfect balance between a crunchy golden crust and a soft, airy interior. Whether you serve it with dips, salads, cheese boards, or enjoy it plain with olive oil, fougasse always looks stunning and tastes even better.

✨ Pro Tips for a Perfect Fougasse
• Thinner dough gives you a crispier texture; thicker dough stays softer in the center.
• Add rosemary, thyme, garlic, olives, or chili flakes for extra aroma.
• Lightly mist the dough with water before baking for better oven spring.
• Strong bread flour gives you that classic open crumb.
• Bake on a hot tray or stone for a rustic, blistered crust.
