Swirled Summer Pesto Focaccia

Warm, pillowy focaccia smothered with verdant, herbaceous pesto is one of our favorite ways to make the classic Italian leavened flatbread. In general, focaccia is an extremely satisfying bread to make at home, especially if you are new to bread baking, as it is both very forgiving and hands-on. And while there are many steps, nothing—and we mean nothing—beats crunchy-on-the-outside, tender-on-the-inside freshly baked focaccia dipped in high-quality olive oil. Trust us.
