IMPORTANT: OVEN TEMPERATURE

I've received reports from some users who experienced their focaccia burning while baking it at 530°F. It's important to keep in mind that each oven operates differently due to variations in power, heating elements, and energy sources (electric or gas).
If you're attempting to bake at such a high temperature for the first time, it's crucial not to leave the oven unattended and to closely monitor your baked goods throughout the process. Should you observe the focaccia browning too quickly, take immediate action to lower the temperature.
For those whose ovens can't reach 530°F, it's perfectly fine to bake at the maximum temperature your oven can achieve. For example, if your oven only reaches 250°C 480°F, bake your focaccia at that temperature.
