Focaccia Sandwich with Salmon Spread – Hanawiti Pāraoa Pokapoka Me Te Kīnaki Hāmana

E hoa mā, we all have those occasions when we bring a plate to a friend’s place, take a picnic to share with a crowd or are hosting a lunch at your place. This idea is perfect for those moments! We make my delicious focaccia bread (no-knead) recipe. Once baked, we cut it in half, make a simple kīnaki hāmana (salmon dip) and fill it with fresh, delicious ingredients. What a way to bring joy to your whānau (family) and manuhiri (visitors). With this recipe I have added quantities, but you know the deal – this is your sandwich, add what you want. Have fun with it e hoa mā (friends)!
