FAQs
Can I use whole wheat flour?
Yes, you can substitute whole wheat flour, but it may change the texture slightly. You might want to add a bit more water to maintain the dough’s consistency.
Can I freeze this focaccia?
Absolutely! You can freeze the focaccia after it cools down. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and foil, and it will last for up to 3 months in the freezer.
