The sour cream/yogurt based sauce can be served as a side dish to meat, fish, poultry or vegetables. Allow the sauce to cool and absorb the flavor for 2-3 hours before serving.

Focaccia
The recipe fills a long pan. The recipe can be halved for a small long pan/proof dish.
If you want to freeze the dough the night before or early in the morning, use cold water and let the dough rise, covered, at room temperature for 6-8 hours. Repeat as described in the recipe.
- 7 dl of lukewarm water
- ½ pk of yeast
- 1 dl + 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 teaspoons of salt
- 1 tbsp honey (can be omitted)
- approx. 16 dl of wheat flour
Dissolve the yeast in lukewarm water. Dry yeast is added together with wheat flour. Add oil, salt and honey. Add wheat flour and knead in a food processor for 6-8 minutes. The dough should be slightly sticky. Add 2 tbsp of oil towards the end so that it spreads throughout the dough. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and leave to rise for at least 40-50 minutes. Spread the dough on a long form greased with butter or lined with baking paper. Put the plastic under for approx. 40 min.
Drizzle a little olive oil on the risen bread. Poke holes in the bread with your fingertip and sprinkle with flaky salt. Bake on the lower rack in a hot oven at 200 degrees for 20-30 minutes.
Cool on a wire rack.
