Focaccia with olives
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Follow these simple four steps to make olive focaccia: 1. Dissolve sugar in warm water in a small bowl. Add the yeast, then let it sit for 10 minutes, allowing the yeast to activate. 2. In a large bowl, combine 3 cups of flour and salt. Add the dissolved yeast mixture and mix for 5 minutes, either by hand or using a food processor with a special attachment. As the dough starts to come together, gradually add the remaining flour and continue kneading for several more minutes. 3. Shape the dough into a ball, transfer it to an oiled dish, and let it rise at room temperature for about 3 hours, until it has doubled in size. 4. Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F). Gently spread the dough into a baking pan and drizzle the top with oil. Arrange thinly sliced pitted olives over the dough, sprinkle with salt, cheese, and season with pepper to taste. Bake for 20 minutes. Your olive focaccia is ready. Serve warm or cooled. Perfect with tea.
