Noun[edit]
focaccia (countable and uncountable, plural focaccias)
- (uncountable) A flatbread similar in style, composition, and texture to modern pizza doughs and topped with herbs, cheese and other products. Focaccia typically consists of high-gluten flour, oil, water, sugar, salt and yeast.
- Synonym: focaccia bread
- 2001, Eve Zibart, The Ethnic Food Lover's Companion, page 47:
- The same dough can be used for bread, rolls, breadsticks, bruschetta, focaccia, calzone, or pizza. The only practical difference between pizza and focaccia is the thickness of the crust: Traditional pizza crust is thin, and something an inch or two thick […] is more like focaccia.
- (countable) A sandwich made with this type of bread.
