Focaccia Bread

Method

Focaccia Preparation

1

Make the Focaccia

In a large bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy. Add flour, salt, and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms. Knead for about 10 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

2

Bake the Focaccia

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Punch down the dough and spread it onto a greased baking sheet. Dimple the surface with your fingers and drizzle with olive oil. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Allow to cool slightly before slicing.

Tuna Filling Preparation

Prepare the Tuna Filling

In a bowl, combine drained tuna, chopped olives, capers, mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well and adjust seasoning to taste.
