Where it comes from

Unadapted borrowing from Italian focaccia, from Late Latin focācium (via its plural focācia), derived from Latin focus (“hearth”). Doublet of fougasse and pagash. Cognate with Sicilian fugazza, Serbo-Croatian pogača (“unleavened bread”).

noun focaccias

uncountable A flatbread similar in style, composition, and texture to modern pizza doughs and topped with herbs, cheese and other products. Focaccia typically consists of high-gluten flour, oil, water, sugar, salt and yeast. The same dough can be used for bread, rolls, breadsticks, bruschetta, focaccia, calzone, or pizza. The only practical difference between pizza and focaccia is the thickness of the crust: Traditional pizza crust is thin, and something an inch or two thick […] is more like focaccia.
Similar: focaccia bread
countable A sandwich made with this type of bread.
