Focaccia with tomatoes and red onions

Cooking time: 180 minutes
Servings: 10

This homemade focaccia is airy, juicy, and packed with flavor. The classic Italian bread gets an extra boost with sweet tomatoes, mildly caramelized red onions, and a good sprinkling of flaky salt and fresh rosemary, creating the perfect balance between freshness and depth. The crisp surface with golden olive oil and the soft, airy interior makes the focaccia ideal as a side dish for dinner, as part of a tapas table, or as a delicious snack on its own. A simple recipe with plenty of Mediterranean vibes.
