Questions about Plain Italian flatbread focaccia
How do you warm focaccia without drying it out?
Sprinkle the cut surface lightly with water, wrap the bread in foil and heat it at 180 °C for about 8–10 minutes. Open the foil for the last couple of minutes if you want the crust crisp.
How should you store focaccia, and can you freeze it?
Keep it in a paper bag or wrapped in a clean tea towel at room temperature and eat it within a day or two; plastic can soften the crust. Freeze individual pieces well wrapped, then thaw and warm them in the oven.
What goes well with plain focaccia?
Serve it with soup, salad, olives or cheese, or use it to mop up olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Split a piece to make a sandwich with roasted vegetables, mozzarella or cured meat.
Can you use focaccia instead of ciabatta for a sandwich?
Yes. Focaccia is usually flatter and oilier, so it makes a rich, soft sandwich; slice it horizontally and avoid overfilling it, as the bread can squash or let oily fillings seep through.
What can you use instead of focaccia?
For a sandwich, ciabatta or a sturdy country loaf works well. To serve alongside a meal, use pita or another flatbread, though it will not have focaccia’s dimpled, olive-oil-rich crumb.
How many calories are in a piece of focaccia?
A typical piece weighs 57 g and contains about 142 kcal.
Why are there dimples in focaccia?
The baker presses fingertips into the risen dough before baking. The little wells hold olive oil and help give the top its characteristic golden, savoury crust.
