Fougasse
This is the French flatbread the equivalent of focaccia and more. A flat bread sometimes shaped like a leaf and flavored with herbs and sea salt. It can be like a calzone with bacon and cheese folded into it. Served like a pizza or served like a streuselkuchen with fruit and streusel topping as a breakfast treat.
As a breakfast bread it is usually made with berries covered with the crumble topping. My take is a little different but just as tasty.
