For a moister, fluffier crumb, include mashed potato. Omit it for a drier, traditional texture.
Substitutes for olive oil include walnut, sunflower, vegetable, or canola oil, though extra virgin olive oil is recommended.
To create focaccia art, press herbs and vegetables into the dough prior to baking for decorative flair.
For added fluffiness, whisk 2 tsp sugar with yeast and warm water, let stand until foamy, and then proceed with the recipe.
