Tony has been making Focaccia for months.
It's so beautiful and delicious, I had to post it here!
He starts with 4 cups of flour in a large bowl.
He adds 2 tsp of salt.
In a measuring cup, put 2 tsp of yeast into 2 cups of warm water. Let it sit for a few minutes to bloom the yeast.
Pour the water into the flour mixture and mix with a spatula until it forms a wet ball. Add flour if needed.
Add some olive oil, a "nice amount."
Put the dough into a bowl with a lid, and into the refrigerator. Let it rest overnight, up to 2 days.
After that time in the refrigerator, your dough will look like this!
Oil a good baking sheet with edges.
Add more oil to the dough and mix by hand.
Add more olive oil and let it sit in a warm place uncovered,
...until it looks like this!
Poke the dough with your fingers all over.
Brush with more olive oil and sprinkle with fine sea salt.
Put in a pre-heated 425 degree oven for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown.
You can add rosemary and roasted garlic to the dough for add interest.
Enjoy!!
