✨ 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.
