Focaccia adalah salah satu roti panggang Italia yang adonan dan teksturnya serupa dengan pizza namun tampilannya rata dan biasanya berbentuk kotak. Roti ini bisa dimakan begitu saja, bisa juga dengan topping apapun atau sebagai roti lapis.

Bedanya dengan pizza, focaccia ini dibuat dari tepung terigu serbaguna saja dan tanpa proses pengembangan 2x seperti layaknya roti. Jadi teksturnya tidak terlalu alot dan ternyata masih cukup empuk sampai besok pagi.

Saya baru saja coba buat dengan topping bawang bombay tumis, suami makan dicocol sisa ayam kecap, sementara Ammar minta dioles saus bolognese. Lalu ludes dalam sekejap. Di rumah semua suka dan kami sepakat, akan bikin roti jenis ini saja nantinya. Lain kali saya pingin coba versi gluten-free

ah.
