Soft and Crispy Focaccia

Recipe by Claire Saffitz x Dessert Person

A soft, pillowy interior with a super‑crispy, olive‑oil‑laden bottom and a golden, flaky‑salt topped crust. This Italian focaccia is flavored with garlic, rosemary, and a hint of red pepper flakes, and it’s baked hot on the bottom rack then finished on the top rack for maximum crunch.
