Fixing a flat focaccia
The dough was fine; the pan was too big.
My first three focaccias were pleasant and flat. Same recipe, smaller pan, twice the height.
| Change | Result |
|---|---|
| 23×33 cm pan → 20×20 cm pan | Much taller, bigger bubbles |
| Same-day → overnight fridge proof | Better flavour, easier dimpling |
| Olive oil only → oil + splash of water on top | Crisper crust |
Use plenty of oil in the pan. It is supposed to fry a little.
