Focaccia Alle Olive

Step 1

Pour water in a bowl.

Step 2

Add the yeast and mix with a wooden spoon until dissolved.

Step 3

Add the flour, sea salt, and olive oil and mix it with a wooden spoon until everything comes together and there are no lumps (the dough is really hydrated so if it's sticky don’t worry exactly how it's supposed to look).

Step 4

Oil a half sheet tray and pour the dough in the tray and try to stretch it until reaches the edge of the tray.

Step 5

Add olive oil on the surface of your focaccia and cover the tray with plastic and let it rise for 2-3 hours in a turned-off oven with the light on.

Step 6

Once doubled in size dimple the dough and add pitted green and black olive, coarse sea salt.

Step 7

Bake for 20 minutes at 500 degrees in the middle rack or until golden and brown.
