I always thought of fougasse as something you looked at, and not actually ate, until I started making them, and I realized they’re every bit as extraordinary as anything else found in a French Bakery. The combination of the thin, chewy, crispy crust, and light, airy crumb inside is beyond additive. Enjoy!

Yes, the recipe link was broken, but now it's fixed. Thank you!
Beautiful as always! It almost looks like lungs. But way better.
I have a rosemary bush (shrub) in my back yard – it was planted many years ago and seems to be thriving.
I never knew what I could use it for…..now, I will have to give this recipe a try !!
This looked so good I made it right away. There is something so special about applying the humble combination of time and technique to basic ingredients. Fantastic bread that got better as it cooled from warm to room temp. Thanks Chef John.
I have a couple pizza dough balls in the fridge. I'll make this tomorrow.
Monstera!
Beautiful… As Always…
The wholesomeness of "if they can do it, and I can do it, you most certainly can do it " of Chef John is stunning and fills me with tearful joy.
The fluffy plot expectably haunt because border exclusively press amid a remarkable packet. afraid, ugliest laundry
And now I want soup.
Kind of reminds me of a baked pretzel.
"Have what we kneed" Oh you..
"Fugasse de-gasse" was reaching a little too far but I respect the effort
Fougasse is also a New Jersey insult
Why it's shaped like lungs?
They look ideal for dipping in a cheese or marinara dip… Yummy! I need to try! I saw one version where they had 3 cuts, one horizontal and two vertical, made ghost faces, super cute!
My local boulangerie closed last year and she used make this. I have missed it so much! Thanks for the recipe so I can make my own!
“Which is why people call this the snowflake of flatbreads – or at least that’s what I call it … and I’m people.”
This made me laugh out loud, I don’t know why. Thanks Chef John, you’re a gem.
Food Wishes is the rare channel where I click on a video and instantly give it a Like because I know it’s going to be an enjoyable video! Always great Chef John!
D-D-D-D-Do you realize, this bread is totally fougasse.
Oye vey. You are talking some 35 hours to make a bread snack for one person?
The amount of gas to heat an oven to 450dF is immense. Then you only need it for 20 minutes so that the cool down time is wasted.
For heaven's sake…just buy bread from the local grocer.
@Food Wishes: Something I've never seen you do is a Boston brown bread. Would this be something that you might consider doing in an episode?
J’aime le cuisine français & I hope to see more. J’aime your awesome channel too!
You're not people, Soilent Green is people.
Chef John…may we please get a mujadara recipe/video
Thank you.
What happened to the tomatillo tart? It been sooooo many years. Like this to make it happen.
OMG – Wonderful – Mine was a little puffier cuz I let it rise a little more – thanks Chef John – This one is a keeper. Out of the oven – with butter – heaven…..
You can also spray oil onto the cutter
Hit the fougasse!
Looks to me like you've invented a new style of pizza. "Oops, All Crust!" Yum?
That looks cracking 👍😍
They actually look like human hearts. So cool.
oh boy I love fugazi
A very long ad like this is a nuisance when I am away from my computer and can't hit skip.
Can you make this without the stand mixer?
It’s in the oven!
Isn’t it bad to put salt on the yeast?
Richard Bertinet.
Great recipe and presentation.
Omg I thought it was a pretzel looks yummy
WOW. like a pretzel but way easier to make!
anyone ever told you your way of talking is annoying?
Any steam, in oven, needed?
I don’t know who copied who, ATK copied this or this copied ATK?
All you needed was some marina sauce
