Focaccia (pronounced foh-KAH-cha) is a flat Bread topped with spices and other products, which is related to modern Pizza . The basic recipe is thought by some to have originated with the Etruscans or ancient Greeks . It is quite popular in Italy and is usually seasoned with Olive Oil and Herbs , topped with Cheese and meat or flavored with a number of Vegetable s. Focaccia Dough s are similar in style and texture to Pizza doughs consisting of High-gluten Flour , Oil , Water , Sugar , Salt and Yeast . Focaccia is used extensively as a Sandwich bread. Focaccia is typically rolled out or pressed by hand into thick layer of dough and baked in a stone-bottom or hearth Oven . Bakers often puncture the bread with a knife to relieve bubbling on the surface of the bread. Large bubbles may ruin Focaccia as it creates a "pocket" of air and renders the bread useless for sandwiches. Focaccia can be used as a side to many meals, as a base for pizza or as sandwich bread.
