Focaccia Genovese

Quick answer

Focaccia genovese is a soft, dimpled Ligurian flatbread baked with plenty of olive oil and coarse salt.

The dough is pressed into an oiled pan, dimpled with fingertips and brushed with an oil-and-water brine before baking.

Ligurians dunk it in caffellatte for breakfast.
