Golden, crispy on the outside, and irresistibly light and airy on the inside, this homemade focaccia is the kind of bread you'll want to make on repeat. An overnight rise develops incredible flavor with minimal effort, while a generous drizzle of olive oil creates its signature crisp, golden crust. Finished with flaky Maldon salt, it's perfect served alongside dinner, piled high with sandwiches, or simply enjoyed warm with a dip of good olive oil.
