Fougasse is a flatbread that is typically sweetened with sugar and orange-flavored water. It can commonly be found in Provence and throughout southern France, and it is easily recognizable by its shape. Fougasse is usually shaped like a wheat grain, with cuts that form a veiny, leafy outline.

Originally, this bread has been baked since Roman times, and it was mainly used to test the temperature of the oven. Today, there are several variations of the bread, while olives, cheese, and figs are often incorporated into the dough. It provides a perfect accompaniment to a number of dishes, but it can also be used to make a variety of sandwiches.
