A tip for this focaccia: I find dimpling the dough evenly makes the texture perfect!

I've been wanting to try making focaccia for a while now, and using sourdough starter is such a great idea. Does the focaccia have a strong sourdough tang flavor? I love a bit of tang, but some people find it overpowering.

Focaccia’s flavor can vary, but it typically has a mild tanginess due to the fermentation process. The sourdough tang is not overpowering, making it enjoyable for most people. If you appreciate a subtle tang, you’ll likely find focaccia delightful!
