Premium Feature
Focaccia boasts a savory and herbaceous flavor profile, often characterized by olive oil, salt, and herbs.
The dominant flavors come from high-quality olive oil, which contributes richness and a subtle fruity note. Sea salt provides a crucial savory element. Herbs such as rosemary, oregano, and thyme are commonly incorporated, adding aromatic and earthy complexities. The fermentation process of the dough itself contributes a subtle tangy flavor. Toppings such as olives, tomatoes, onions, and cheese can significantly influence the overall flavor profile, offering salty, sweet, or umami notes.
Premium Feature
Olive Oil Quality
Use high-quality extra virgin olive oil for the best flavor and aroma. Don't skimp!
Dough Hydration
Focaccia dough should be quite wet (high hydration). This contributes to its characteristic airy texture. Don't be afraid to add more water if needed.
Dimpling Technique
Generously dimple the dough with your fingers before baking. This creates pockets for the olive oil to pool and creates a delightfully crispy crust.
Proper Baking Temperature
Bake at a relatively high temperature to achieve a golden brown crust and a soft, airy interior.
