How to Make the Focaccia Dough in the Bread Machine Focaccia is a type of flatbread; in essence a pizza, but 2000 years older than the pizza we know of today. The name "focaccia" is taken from the Roman phrase, "panis focacius" which means a flat loaf of bread cooked on a hearth or under hot ashes. This Mediterranean focaccia dough is reminiscent of the ancient doughs which were basically flour, water and salt. No leavening was needed due to the salty air of the Mediterranean, but nowadays, a small amount of yeast or another leavening is used for raising the dough. The dough can be made by hand, however, processing the ingredients in a bread machine on the dough cycle facilitates the process. Once the dough cycle is completed, the dough can be placed in a bowl, covered and refrigerated for 24 hours before assembling the dish. Remove from the refrigerator an hour or so ahead of completing the stuffed focaccia.
