Lore

Giuseppe’s Breakfast in Gaeta focaccia carries a place and a time in its name, which is exactly what a strong Signature can do: turn a familiar bread into a memory. Focaccia rewards generosity—oil, dimples, and a crumb with enough life to hold its toppings—while punishing impatience during fermentation. The handshake records the finished Italian breakfast story, not a recipe we can safely reconstruct.
