FAQs about The Quick and Easy to make Sweet Focaccia

Can I use a different filling instead of fig jam?
Absolutely! While fig jam gives a wonderful natural sweetness, you can try apricot, raspberry, or even a savory filling like soft cheese or pesto. Just make sure the filling isn’t too runny so it stays inside while cooking.

Do I need a special pan to cook this focaccia?
No special pan is required. A simple non-stick pan works perfectly. Just brush it with a little olive oil before cooking to prevent sticking and to give the focaccia a golden finish.

How can I store leftover focaccia?
This focaccia tastes best fresh and warm, but if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container for up to 1 day. Reheat gently in a pan or toaster oven to bring back the softness and crispness.
