things people ask

• How much olive oil does focaccia actually need per cup of flour?
  Most no-knead focaccia recipes land around a quarter cup (50 g) of olive oil worked into the dough plus another two to three tablespoons pooled in the pan and drizzled on top before dimpling. That's why a single focaccia can drink a third of a 750 ml bottle. Weighing rather than pouring keeps the crumb consistent batch to batch.
• Does olive oil cake really call for a full cup of oil?
  Yes — most olive oil cake recipes use somewhere between three quarters of a cup and a full cup (150–200 g). The oil is the fat structure of the cake, replacing butter entirely, which is why the olive flavor needs to be one you'd want to eat by the spoon. Mild or medium-fruity oils work better here than sharp, peppery ones.
• Can I swap extra-virgin for light olive oil cup-for-cup?
  By weight and volume, yes — both are 200 g per cup. Functionally they behave differently. Light or refined olive oil has a higher smoke point (around 240°C) and almost no flavor, so it works for frying and neutral-tasting cakes. Extra-virgin brings flavor and a lower smoke point (around 190–210°C), better for dressings, finishing, and low-to-medium roasting.
