focaccia bread

Olive oil bread

Focaccia bread is an Italian flatbread with a soft, airy interior and crisp, dimpled surface, typically brushed with olive oil and topped with coarse salt, herbs, or other ingredients.

The term is slightly redundant since focaccia itself means the bread, but focaccia bread appears frequently in American English: I picked up some focaccia bread at the bakery.
