In a big bowl, put water at room temperature and dissolve the yeast. Add evo oil and half the salt, mix well until the salt has melted.
Add the flour, little by little, mixing with a wooden spoon. Make sure the water has absorbed all the flour.
Once the water and flour are amalgamated, knead the dough on your work surface until elastic.
When the dough is elastic and ‘bounces back’, put it in a baking tray coated in evo oil.

Heat over at 220C. Put a baking pan with water inside while it heats up, to create humidity in the oven.
Press down the dough with your hands in the baking tray.
Coat the surface of the focaccia in evo oil and leave to rest for at least 1 hr 30 min.
Flatten the dough again with your fingers and add salt, pressing the salt in the dough.
Bake for 10 minutes, then take out the tray with water and bake at 200C for another 30 minutes or until golden.

Focaccia for breakfast, lunch and dinner!
Crunchy, soft, and amazing both alone and filled with yumminess. I made myself a great focaccia stuffed with brie, eggplant and sun-dried tomatoes for my lunch break. It was amazing and I was so proud I had made it all myself, focaccia included!
