Notes
Focaccia dough is naturally high-hydration and sticky, which helps create its airy crumb.Use plenty of olive oil in the pan to create the signature crispy crust.Letting the dough ferment slowly overnight in the refrigerator can deepen the flavor.Fresh herbs like rosemary, thyme, or oregano work beautifully as toppings.
