There's something special about authentic focaccia. With its golden crust, soft airy centre and distinctive dimples, this iconic Italian flatbread has been enjoyed for generations.
At our bakery, we stay true to traditional methods, taking the time to make every focaccia by hand. From preparing the dough to adding the final toppings, each step is carried out with care by our skilled bakers.
Step 1: Creating the Dough
Every great focaccia starts with great dough. Using quality ingredients and traditional techniques, we prepare our dough and allow it time to develop its flavour and texture naturally.
This patient approach creates the light, airy crumb that focaccia is famous for and forms the foundation of every loaf we bake.
Step 2: Hand-Shaping Every Focaccia
Once the dough has matured, our bakers carefully stretch and shape it by hand.
Unlike mass-produced alternatives, each focaccia is individually handled, ensuring the perfect balance of structure, softness and character.
Step 3: The Signature Dimples
Perhaps the most recognisable feature of focaccia is its distinctive pattern of dimples.
Every single dimple is created by hand by one of our bakers. This isn't just for appearance—these pockets help create the focaccia's unique texture and provide the perfect place for olive oil and toppings to settle during baking.
No machines. No shortcuts. Just traditional craftsmanship.
Step 4: Adding the Finishing Touches
Once dimpled, each focaccia receives its final toppings.
Customers can choose from two classic flavour combinations:
Sea Salt & Rosemary
A timeless Italian favourite, combining fragrant rosemary with a sprinkling of sea salt.
Garlic & Parsley
A savoury combination that delivers rich flavour and irresistible aroma.
Simple ingredients, expertly paired.
Step 5: Baked to Perfection
The focaccia is then baked until beautifully golden.
The result is a crisp, lightly textured crust that gives way to a soft, airy interior packed with flavour. It's this contrast that makes traditional focaccia so enjoyable, whether served on its own, alongside a meal, or filled as a sandwich.
Handmade the Traditional Way
In a world of automation, we believe some things are worth doing by hand.
That's why every focaccia we make is shaped, dimpled and finished by our bakers using traditional techniques. It's a process that takes more time, but the difference can be seen in every loaf and tasted in every bite.
The next time you enjoy one of our focaccias, you'll know exactly what went into it: quality ingredients, traditional methods and the skill of the bakers who make it by hand every day.
