   • 2001, Eve Zibart, The Ethnic Food Lover's Companion, page 47:

     The same dough can be used for bread, rolls, breadsticks, bruschetta, focaccia, calzone, or pizza. The only practical difference between pizza and focaccia is the thickness of the crust: Traditional pizza crust is thin, and something an inch or two thick […] is more like focaccia.

2. (countable) A sandwich made with this type of bread.
