A focaccia mix for the dinner where the bread matters, dimpled and golden in an afternoon instead of a two-day project.

Maison Zoe Ford, the Montreal baking house, makes the mix in Quebec. Add butter, buttermilk and olive oil, press in the dimples, and finish with rosemary, sea salt, olives or caramelized onions.

For the friend who entertains. For the antipasto spread, or the soup that needs something to tear. For a host gift to a new kitchen.
