Toppings
Method
Focaccia Preparation
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.
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.
Fennel Remoulade Preparation
Make the Fennel Remoulade
In a separate bowl, mix together finely chopped fennel, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
Assembly
Assemble the Sandwich
Slice the focaccia horizontally. Spread a layer of tuna filling on the bottom half, add sliced tomatoes and arugula, then drizzle with fennel remoulade. Place the top half of the focaccia on the sandwich and cut into individual portions.
