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

Should focaccia be thick or thin?

Focaccia FAQs

What is the difference between bruschetta and focaccia?
Focaccia is more traditionally served as the “side dish” sort of bread — usually placed directly on the tablecloth or napkin, incidentally — while bruschetta and crostini (and pizza) are primi piatti (first plates) or appetizers, if not light meals, and are served on plates.
Why is my focaccia not fluffy?
Make sure the yeast is bubbling and foamy before you add it to the dry ingredients. If it doesn’t foam after a few minutes, pour it out and start with fresh yeast. It may seem like a lot of olive oil in the pan and poured over the dough, but never fear!
Why is focaccia flat?
Dough not kneaded long enough
Not kneading the dough long enough will cause your focaccia to be flat and dense when you bake it. This kneading process develops the gluten structure. It will make the dough more soft and elastic.
