Focaccia bread is an Italian flat bread enhanced with herbs,
cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, and/or olives. Celebrate a nice
appetizer and may be used to make sandwiches. It starts with an
extremely basic dough you can use for a pizza crust, but, following
a slightly different preparation and added toppings, it will become
focaccia bread.
You have some flexibility when creating focaccia bread to fit your personal taste for toppings. It is possible to load it with everything or make a very spare version with only a little cheese and herbs.
