Is Focaccia a Bread? And Why It Beats Garlic Bread Every Time
If you’ve ever sunk your teeth into our golden, garlicky focaccia, you might’ve wondered—is focaccia just another type of bread? The answer is yes… but it’s so much more than that.
What Exactly Is Focaccia?
Focaccia is a traditional Italian flatbread, known for its fluffy, airy texture and rich olive oil flavour. It’s made from a dough similar to pizza, but thicker and more pillowy. Often infused with herbs like rosemary or thyme, focaccia is baked in a pan until it’s golden on the outside and soft on the inside.
At our pizzeria, we make it fresh—garlic-infused, seasoned to perfection, and brushed with extra virgin olive oil. It’s a true Italian classic.
Garlic Focaccia vs. Garlic Bread: What’s the Difference?
| Garlic Focaccia | Garlic Bread | |
|---|---|---|
| Texture | Thick, soft, airy | Often dry or crunchy |
| Flavour | Olive oil, herbs, fresh garlic | Butter and garlic paste |
| Freshness | Made from scratch dough | Often made from pre-baked bread |
| Experience | Gourmet, satisfying | Quick, basic side |
Why Focaccia Wins Every Time
While garlic bread is the fast-food version of a garlicky side, focaccia is the real deal. It’s handmade, fresh, and flavourful—with ingredients that speak for themselves. It’s the kind of bread Italians actually eat with pride.
So when you’re looking for something to pair with your pizza, pasta, or wine—skip the frozen garlic bread. Go for something crafted with care.
