Buongiorno!
today Focaccia, warm, delicious, soft Focaccia!
Focaccia arrives from Italy, probably from the ancient Rome.
It is similar to Pizza but there are some differences: Pizza has an Hydration around 50% - 60% and the Focaccia has a very high hydration, for example in my recipe the hydration is around 85% - 90%.
Pizza is with Sauce and Focaccia is white.
You can eat Focaccia as you prefer. I like with Prosciutto or Mortadella, or plain.
Here the ingredients and the steps. You can find the video recipe in my Instagram page or in my YouTube channel.
