Potato Curry Focaccia

Potato Curry Focaccia

Focaccia is a flat oven-baked bread which is typically topped with oil, herbs and other ingredients. It is similar in style and texture to pizza but not the same. Focaccia bread is a great side dish and can go well with any season from fall soups to winter stews and summer BBQ’s. This recipe uses canola oil as a heart healthy fat and its mild taste really lets the curry flavours shine through with the richness of the onions and potatoes.
