Focaccia as a loaf 9x4x5

[Reuben]

So I’m curious if there is another name for a bread that I am making ? It’s basically focaccia but in a loaf. Any feed back would be great
513 g AP flour
460 g water
10 g yeast
10 g salt
4 g olive oil

Focaccia in a loaf pan? EVOO seems too low for a proper focaccia.

That sounds delicious! When focaccia is baked in a loaf pan like that, it often resembles a type of Italian bread called “ciabatta” but with a softer, more tender crumb due to the higher hydration. It's not quite the same as traditional ciabatta, but it might have a similar texture and flavor profile.

If you’re looking for a different name for your loaf, you could consider calling it “Focaccia Loaf” or “Pane Focaccia.” The texture should be fantastic with that amount of water—just make sure to keep an eye on it while baking to get the crust you prefer. Enjoy your baking!
