The 6 Best Stainless Steel Cookware Sets of 2024, According to Lab Testing Tips for Making Focaccia You'll make the perfect focaccia every time as long as you follow these tips. Dimple the dough. Between the dough's first and second rise, press your fingers into the surface. This will help it release gas and air, preventing it from rising too quickly and keeping its signature flat look.Remove the loaf from the pan as soon as it leaves the oven. Transfer the focaccia to a cooling rack immediately so it doesn't remain sitting in oil while it's cooling. This could cause the bottom to grow too soggy.Use a loaf pan instead of a sheet pan. Loaf pans have higher edges and usually contain non-stick coating, making the bread easier to remove without sticking. Just make sure it is made of aluminum because it will heat up faster than glass, giving the focaccia crisp, delicious edges.
