Focaccia with Herbs and Olives
Jul 30, 2025 01:10 AM
An easy-to-make Focaccia with Herbs and Olives which is soft and chewy on the inside and crisp on the outside.
Focaccia is one of my go-to recipes when we have friends over because it goes with almost any appetiser you wish to serve, plus it always looks impressive. If you plan to serve a grazing board with different types of cheese and cured meats, a homemade focaccia on the side is just what you need to take everything up a notch.
And the best part is that you can add almost any topping you like to the focaccia! Here, I have used black olives with herbs, but you could easily swap the olives for cherry tomatoes, sliced sausages, grated cheese, salami slices … the choices are endless!
