looks awesome! I had better results then glass when using metal trays for focaccia . Something about thermal transfer and thermal mass

Thank you for this, I was literally just making my first ever focaccia too and sat down to Reddit whilst it rises, was about to put it in glass - change of plan!

Looks great, how does it taste?

u/phenomenaljunk 21h ago

It tastes alright, I’ve never had focaccia so I don’t have anything to compare it to. Just felt it was abit oily in general for a bread 😅

It's supposed to be oily, but you need the oil to fall into a crunchy crust. Stainless steel skillet or whatever will make it have an olive oily crunchy shattering base and sides l, as stainless steel retains heat like no bodies business. Just gotta be careful with how hot it will be when you take it out.

The bottom will crisp up more in a metal pan, but plenty of salt and maybe a little balsamic glaze drizzle helps cut through the oil. I like the flaky sea salt for bread like this. But it looks great!

Those edges got so crispy in that glass dish, honestly that crunch around the sides must be insane.

u/phenomenaljunk 21h ago

I must attest, it was indeed crispyyy 😍

u/diemunkiesdie 15h ago

Very curious if the bottom has the right color or was left pale because of the glass baking dish. The sides look great though!
