In the Kitchen: Let’s Make Focaccia!

We make and serve our house focaccia in cast iron skillets.

If you’d like to try your hand at making focaccia bread we’re providing step-by-step photos with descriptions of how we do it in our kitchen. Happy Cooking!

It’s fun and a good hands-on recipe! This recipe gives you a chance to use your fingers, when creating deep dimples in the focaccia dough. Sprinkle with Maldon flaky sea salt which really shines in this recipe.
