Focaccia Bread

Focaccia Bread is a flat Italian bread traditionally flavored with olive oil and salt and often topped with herbs, cheeses, meats, and vegetables .

Focaccia dough is similar to pizza dough, both containing flour, water, oil, sugar, salt, and yeast.

Once the dough is made, it is rolled out into a thick layer and baked in a hearth oven. The bread is typically punctured with a knife to relieve bubbling on the surface. It is also poked with fingers or a utensil to make small valleys so that olive oil can poured over it before baking. This process helps preserve the moisture.
