Exquisite Yeastless Focaccia Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Italian Recipes. (Exquisite Yeastless Focaccia Recipe). This recipe for focaccia was given to me by my best friend, who is Italian. It's incredibly simple, with only a few ingredients for the bread, and very versatile. I love it because there's no yeast, and it's just so easy to make! You can top it off with vegetables when there are about 5 minutes left on the baking time, or you can just season it with herbs and Parmesan cheese--my personal favorite.

Pour water into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a dough hook. Sift together flour baking powder and salt and add to the water. Mix on medium speed until dough forms a ball.
