After xxx minutes, brand dents inward the dough (with your fingertips) every few inches over the entire surface of the focaccia. Bake at 450 for xv minutes or until lightly golden. Cool the focaccia completely earlier slicing it horizontally to brand sandwiches.

NOTE: This focaccia is basically a blank slate; yous tin add together anything yous similar to the dough.
