Method
Focaccia Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy. Add the olive oil, salt, and flour gradually, mixing until a sticky dough forms.

Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Shape and Season
Once risen, punch down the dough and transfer it to a greased baking sheet or pan. Gently stretch the dough to fit the pan. Use your fingers to create dimples in the surface. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with fresh oregano, red pepper flakes, black pepper, and sea salt.
