Key Tips for Perfect Focaccia

**Time = texture** The resting periods allow gluten to develop naturally, giving you that classic airy structure without kneading.

**Olive oil is essential** Don’t hold back - olive oil creates the signature crispy bottom and adds depth of flavor.

**Look for bubbles** Well-proofed focaccia dough should be full of visible air bubbles before baking. For best results, let the dough rest in the fridge overnight to develop more flavor and a lighter texture.

**Dimpling matters** Pressing your fingers into the dough helps distribute toppings and creates those iconic pockets.
