Italian flatbread for every occasion

Focaccia is the perfect bread for anyone short on time but doesn't want to miss out on homemade bread. The dough requires only a few ingredients and develops intense flavors thanks to the long rising time of four hours. The secret lies in the high oil content – this creates the characteristic texture and irresistible taste. The finger holes are not only visually appealing but also collect the olive oil and provide an additional burst of flavor. Baked at 220 degrees Celsius, the focaccia develops a golden brown, crispy crust with a soft, airy center. It's perfect for sandwiches, as a side dish to soups, or simply with a little salt and olive oil. Once you try it, you'll never want to buy bread again.
