- Why isn't it as airy as store-bought?
- Because this is a baking powder dough, not yeast-based. The structure is chemically different—more crumbly than elastic.
Quick White Wine Flatbread (No-Yeast Focaccia)
This is a 'quick focaccia' variation made with baking powder instead of yeast, substituting part of the liquid with wine. Since there's no rising time, the texture is denser, resembling a savory scone or biscuit more than airy bread. The acidity of the wine reacts with the baking powder, aiding the rise and adding a unique aroma.
