Focaccia
Genova, the heart of Italy’s Ligurian coast, is the birthplace of a simple yet flavorful classic—Focaccia Genovese. This traditional flatbread is loved for its soft, airy interior and golden, crispy crust, all enhanced by a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of sea salt. Whether you enjoy it as a snack, on its own, or alongside your favorite Italian dishes, focaccia is a perfect example of how Italian cuisine transforms humble ingredients into something truly special. Focaccia, much like pizza, requires several hours of resting. The good news is that you can easily fit it into your day while doing other things—whether you're working from home, doing house chores, or simply relaxing. Don’t be discouraged by the resting time, as the actual hands-on preparation is minimal.
