Step 1
Take a bowl with high sides and pour in clean drinking water at room temperature. Add yeast, sugar, one spoon (half of the total amount) of salt, and two tablespoons of olive oil. If you don't have olive oil, don't worry—use any vegetable oil instead. Let the mixture sit for ten minutes, then add flour and knead the dough. Place the dough in a warm spot to rise.

Step 2
When the dough has risen, knead it with your hands. Grease a baking pan (the larger the diameter, the better). Then place the dough onto the pan and stretch it with your hands until it reaches the edges. Let the dough rise for twenty minutes.

Step 3
Use your fingers to make small indentations on the dough around the entire perimeter. Mix the remaining butter with an equal amount of water and brush the dough on top. Sprinkle with coarse salt.

Focaccia bakes quite quickly. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Just half an hour is enough—and an excellent bread alternative is ready.
