Focaccia is one of Italy’s most beloved and versatile breads, with roots stretching back to the ancient Etruscans or Greeks. The name comes from the Latin “panis focacius,” meaning “hearth bread.” Culturally, it is the soul of Ligurian cuisine, where it is often enjoyed for breakfast dipped in caf\u00e9 latte or as a snack throughout the day. This no-knead version focuses on high hydration and long fermentation, allowing the yeast to do the work.
