Focaccia
In our opinion, focaccia is the ultimate bread. It’s an Italian flatbread that’s now generally oven-baked, however, it was traditionally cooked on a hearth in ancient Rome. This is why the bread is named as such – focus means hearth in Latin.
The dough is stretched into a baking tray and coated with olive oil. You use your fingers to create dimples in the surface of the dough to which you can either just add a generous sprinkle of sea salt or ingredients like olives, onions or rosemary.
Is focaccia vegan?
Yes, in general focaccia is vegan-friendly as it uses olive oil as its fat which is plant-based and suitable for vegans. Very rarely a recipe might use eggs or butter, but this isn’t common and easy to avoid.
