Focaccia col formaggio is a Ligurian cheese flatbread, and the name does two jobs: a cheese-topped risen slab almost anywhere, and Recco's paper-thin two-sheet build the EU fenced off in 2015.
Bari builds its focaccia on boiled potato worked into durum semolina, a crumb that drinks oil and tomato juice without giving way, topped with whole olives and oregano.
Bari's thick potato-crumbed focaccia, baked with crushed cherry tomatoes and olives, split horizontally and filled with mortadella. The bread is already seasoned, so the fill stays light.
Chickpea flour flatbread (farinata) in a roll; similar to Sicilian panelle but different texture.
