Focaccia might be known for its savory roots — olive oil-rich dough, sea salt, herbs — but lately, bakers have been giving it a sweet twist that feels both unexpected and completely genius.
Think juicy fruit baked into golden dough, drizzles of honey that caramelize at the edges, and that perfect balance of chewy and crisp. 😍
