Bread machine Focaccia!

When I started blogging I had no idea that I was going to go down the line of trying to use it to improve my health and fitness.

I am slowly learning more about food and how to sort out my diet in order to lose weight and live a healthier lifestyle. 

I thought taking my blog in a foodie and health and fitness direction would help me become more organised. I have enjoyed learning how to cook roast chickens, make soup from fresh ingredients and now I want to get better at cooking and baking in general. 

I adore Focaccia, it reminds me of holidays to Italy and it has a similar texture to pizza, so for me it’s a healthier version of pizza. Drizzle over a little olive oil and cheese or even some extra toppings and it’s a healthier alternative which I’ve come to love. 

I am a student and I love having machines that can help me stay healthy whilst I’m studying. Soup and bread makers are such brilliant inventions and I wanted to share this quick and easy bread machine recipe for making delicious Focaccia without too much hard work, allowing me to get on with other things whilst it cooks!

This is a step in a healthier, yummier direction and hopefully one day when I have a full kitchen, I can have a crack at proper bread-making!
