Focaccia is an Italian bread, the name Focaccia originates from the ancient Roman 'Panis Focacius' which was a flatbread that was baked on the hearth. Focaccia is quite different from Pizza not only in their shape but also the way they are prepared. Traditionally Focaccia had the topping ingredients kneaded into the dough while pizza has it on the top of the dough. Also an Italian pizza crust goes for thinner side like not than 1/2inch thick while Focaccia is atleast about 3/4inch thick. In old days, Focaccia had any toppings except oil and herbs for the flavour this is why there is always a confusion between the focaccia and pizza.
Focaccia dough goes for lot of oil, oil is brushed and drizzled while the dough gets baked, this makes the dough more spongy when compared to Pizza. However focaccia served with a bowl of warm soup will definitely makes a filling dinner. I have missed few baking events during my stay in India, am slowly catching up with those missed events and my oven is turned up since two days after a long rest. Kids are happy that finally their mom is baking some wonderful bakes.
