step by step

Method

  1. Mix the dough

    • In a bowl, combine the warm water, instant yeast, honey, olive oil and fine sea salt.
    • Add the bread flour and stir until completely hydrated.
    • Scrape down the sides of the bowl; the dough will be a sticky mess.
    Step 1
  2. Stretch and fold

    • Cover the bowl and let the dough rest.
    • Wet your hands and do a first series of stretching folds.
    • Cover again, rest, then do another set of stretch and pull to build structure.
    Step 2
  3. Cold ferment overnight

    • Place the dough smooth side up, drizzle with a little olive oil and rub it all over.
    • Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
    Step 3
  4. Prepare the tray

    • Line the tray with parchment paper.
    • Coat the tray with olive oil so the focaccia doesn't stick.
    Step 4
  5. Shape into the tray

    • With oiled hands, fold the dough into a burrito-like shape.
    • Slide it lengthways into the tray and flip it over so the smooth side faces up.
    Step 5
  6. Proof

    • Cover the tray and let the dough proof.
    • If it hasn't spread all the way, oil your hands and spread the dough out as best you can.
    Step 6
  7. Dimple and top

    • Drizzle the dough with olive oil and dimple it with your fingers.
    • Add the olives and rosemary, oiling the rosemary so it doesn't burn.
    • Sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
    Step 7
  8. Bake

    • Bake at 220 °C until golden and cooked through.
