Schiacciata or focaccia – what’s the difference?

In Tuscany, Schiacciata is available in every bakery, and all the locals know it. You could call it “Tuscan focaccia” – both have a similar dough, in which olive oil and salt play an important role.

The difference between the breads comes from the way they are made:
- Schiacciata is flatter, thinner and crunchier, because it is stretched and pressed before baking, and its rising time is shorter.
- Focaccia is thicker, fluffier and airier.

Schiacciata's crispy surface and denser interior make it an excellent base for filled breads – it won't crumble, even with rich fillings.
