Just like pizza dough, ACE Bakery® focaccia is made with flour, oil, water, yeast and salt.

Should focaccia be served warm?

After 15 minutes, rotate the pan to ensure even baking. Check the dough after another 7 minutes. If it’s done, it will be golden brown on top and, if you lift a corner of the dough, the underside will be golden as well. If not, return the pan to the oven for another 1 to 2 minutes and check again.
Why is focaccia dimpled right before baking?
