Focaccia is a versatile bread where you can customise the topping as well as the ingredients that go into I made this with whole wheat flour just like the cinnamon roll. And the texture was just fantastic. My Whole Wheat Focaccia is not just soft as a pillowy cloud with a divinely chewy crust, it is also a good-for-you bread that you don't have to feel guilty about cramming down your gullet. This focaccia dough can be used for deep-dish and Sicilian pizza recipes. Just add various pizza toppings and bake until lightly brown.
