About the Italian flatbread focaccia:

  • Focaccia, (foh-KAH-chee-ah) is similar in style to pizza dough except the dough is much wetter and you spread it in the pans with your fingers instead of rolling it out.
  • You might want to sprinkle your focaccia with chopped red onions and cheese in addition to the fragrant chopped rosemary and kosher salt. If you don’t have fresh rosemary, you can substitute a dried Italian herb mix.
  • Feel free to substitute regular whole wheat flour ground for the white whole wheat flour. You can make rosemary foccacia with unbleached white flour too.

What is white whole wheat flour?

  • White whole wheat flour, like regular whole wheat flour, includes the bran, germ and endosperm of the wheat grain. The difference is white whole wheat flour is ground from white wheat berries while regular whole wheat flour is ground from hard red wheat berries. White whole wheat flour is lighter in color and flavor and has all the nutritional advantages of whole wheat flour. Both are 100% whole grain.

  • I think I smell it baking! GREG Reply · 11 September, 2016

    This looks wonderful, but it’s not whole wheat bread so I can’t try it. White whole wheat is not whole wheat at all.

    But it does look wonderful, and I’ll bet it tastes wonderful, too! Reply · 30 January, 2019

    • Hi Deb. Thank you for your comment. Just like regular whole wheat flour, white whole wheat flour includes the bran, germ and endosperm of the wheat grain.

White whole wheat flour is lighter in color and flavor and has all the nutritional advantages of whole wheat flour. Both are 100% whole grain. Here’s a link from Oldways Whole Grains Council explaining white whole wheat flour. Feel free to substitute regular whole wheat flour ground for the white whole wheat flour. (I am finding organic white whole wheat flour more difficult to get than before. I can still buy it at Natural Grocers and online from King Arthur Flour.) Reply · 30 January, 2019

    Thank you for the information and link. I suspect I am confusing it with products called “white wheat”.

    I’m always happy to learn something new! I’d prefer the taste of a flour less bitter than whole wheat, but with the same (or nearly the same) food values. Reply · 30 January, 2019

  • Peter M.

    Any chance this could be made with All/Only White Whole Wheat Flour? (and no all purpose flour ). Would any changes in water amount need to be made?
    Thanks ! Reply · 27 February, 2020

    • Peter, Yes–feel free to make this focaccia with all white whole wheat flour. The foccacia will be a bit more dense but I wouldn’t add more water. Thanks for writing! Reply · 27 February, 2020
