focaccias
Olive oil loaves
Focaccias is the plural of focaccia, a flat Italian bread brushed with olive oil and often topped with herbs, salt, or other ingredients before baking.
The bread has a soft, dimpled surface and chewy texture: We ordered several focaccias for the table.
It serves as a side, sandwich bread, or base for toppings.
