The defining characteristic of focaccia, however, lies in its dimples. Before the bread enters the oven, bakers use their fingertips to press deep wells into the dough. Visually, it gives the bread its iconic cratered landscape. Functionally, these dimples act as reservoirs. They trap pools of extra virgin olive oil and brine, preventing the dough from rising uniformly like a standard loaf of bread and ensuring every bite is intensely flavorful. Here is our favourite Foccacia Bread.
