Focaccia Bread Rolls

Focaccia Bread Rolls is a flattish Italian bread made with a little yeast and then smothered in olive oil when proofing. This focaccia recipe is very similar to ciabatta rolls, only a smaller open-crumb with soft and airy interiors, crispy crust, and yet dense enough to absorb sandwich spreads and sauces! Focaccia bread dough is so easy to work with and the rectangular square shape makes it ideal for sandwich bread! That means you can make all the panini sandwiches you'd like because these freeze great!

📝 Ingredients
