Focaccia

 500 g Bread flour

12 g yeast

1 tsp honey

380 - 400 g lukewarm water

2 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil + Extra for baking pan

15g of salt 2 hours

Put sugar and yeast in warm water and honey into a container and let sit until slightly frothy Measure flour and salt into a bowl Add water yeast mixture to the flour and Mix to a sticky dough. Cover with 2 tablespoons oil and mix oil into dough until dough is glistening. let rise for 30 minutes.

Stretch the dough over itself pulling the bottom of the dough over the top like you would for sourdough. Let dough rise for another 30 minutes to 1 hour or until dough doubles in size. Press dough onto well oiled baking dish (I like cast iron), let rise again for 20-30 mins

Preheat the oven to 500F, rack at lowest setting. Gently flip dough over a few times on oiled baking pan to coat dough with oil and use fingers to make divots across the dough . Top as you would like

Bake for 15-20 minutes. Let the focaccia cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes.
