Question 1

What's the best olive oil to use for focaccia bread?

Accepted Answer

Whichever oil you like best! I have infused my own olive oil with fresh herbs from my garden, and that adds extra flavor, but any olive oil of good quality will work nicely!

Question 2

How do I store homemade focaccia bread?

Accepted Answer

Homemade focaccia bread is best eaten the same day, but leftovers will be good for up to three days. I lightly cover my focaccia in the pan with a cutting board or kitchen towel, but you can store it in an airtight container if you like. The flaky salt will melt into the bread after a few hours, but it is still safe to eat.

Question 3

How long does homemade focaccia bread last at room temperature?

Accepted Answer

These loaves never last more than 24 hours in my home, as they are best enjoyed the day of baking. If you have leftovers, store in an airtight or loosely covered container for up to three days.
