Focaccia pugliese is a traditional southern Italian flatbread from Puglia, characterized by a soft, spongy, and airy dough—often enriched with boiled potatoes—and baked in a round pan with plenty of extra virgin olive oil. It features a delightfully crispy, golden-brown bottom and edges, while the top is typically topped with fresh juicy cherry tomatoes pressed into the dough, black or barese olives, and a generous sprinkle of dried oregano.
