For a richer flavor, use a high-quality extra virgin olive oil. Kalamata olives add a distinct, briny flavor that complements the rosemary beautifully. Feel free to experiment with other toppings such as sun-dried tomatoes, roasted red peppers, or caramelized onions. For a crispy crust, bake the focaccia on a preheated pizza stone. Leftover focaccia can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat before serving for best results.
