This delicious focaccia recipe couldn’t be easier to make. Antipasto means “before the pasta” in Italian, and serving a few tasty bites is a fun way to invite your family and friends to the table and to set the stage for the coming meal. Crispy, chewy focaccia is a guest favourite made even more delicious when topped with rosy, paper-thin prosciutto and peppery arugula for a touch of spiciness. The red wine vinegar nicely complements both. We love pairing this focaccia with a glass of Pinot Grigio, if you’d like to pour white; or a light Dolcetto, if you’d prefer red.
