A focaccia mix from Maison Zoe Ford of Montreal, the Quick Focaccia, that turns out a dimpled, olive-oil-slicked flatbread without the two-day sourdough project.

The mix handles the flour and the leavening; you add water and oil and your own dimples. It rises, it bakes, and it comes out looking like the bakery's, in an afternoon.

You bake it for the dinner where the bread matters, the antipasto spread, the soup that needed something to tear.

A host gift for the friend who entertains. The housewarming for the new kitchen. The pantry staple for the person who bakes bread badly and wants a win.
