💡 What's interesting
Focaccia's dimpled surface isn't just for looks; it's designed to trap pools of olive oil, creating a delightful contrast between crispy and chewy textures. Nutritionally, the generous use of olive oil provides beneficial antioxidants and healthy fats, making it a more flavorful and potentially heart-friendlier bread option compared to many others.
