What’s better than traditional focaccia? These mini, bite-sized focaccia breads! Inspired by the classic Italian focaccia, this recipe creates an easy, bite-sized appetizer known as “focaccine” (mini focaccia) in Italian. They have the soft and fluffy texture you’d expect from classic focaccia—and best of all? You don’t need any special ingredients. With a few basic pantry staples (all-purpose flour, baking powder, milk, and vegetable oil), you can whip up a batch of mini focaccia perfect for any party or special occasion. They’re also great for making ahead of time! Serve them on their own, with a spread of hummus, or as a base for mini pizzas.
Tips:
For added texture and flavor, sprinkle coarse sea salt (like Maldon Sea Salt flakes) over the mini focaccia before baking.
Top the mini focaccia with fresh herbs, blue cheese, chopped sundried tomatoes, diced onions, parmesan cheese, or even pepperoni for extra flavor.
If the dough is sticky, don’t be tempted to add more flour, as this will result in a dense dough.
To prevent the dough from sticking to the baking pan, grease it generously with olive oil.
Make Mini Focaccia Genovese by adding thinly sliced onions and pitted green olives to the bread’s surface before baking.
Use high-protein bread flour for the best texture and flavor.
