Vegan “focaccia”

Step by step

1. Step 1

   In a large bowl, combine the yeast, the extra-virgin olive oil and the salt. Pour in the water and mix well. 

2. Step 2

   Gradually add the sifted flour and mix until it forms a solid dough. 

3. Step 3

   Cover with a dish towel and let the dough rest for half an hour. 

4. Step 4

   Fold the dough over four times, flattening it, and let it rest for another half hour, well covered. Repeat the operation one more time. 

5. Step 5

   Grease an elongated baking sheet with extra-virgin olive oil and arrange the dough on top of it, flattening it out. Let it rest in the fridge for 24 hours. 

6. Step 6

   Spread the sliced green olives on top, along with the rosemary, a drizzle of light extra-virgin olive oil (you can spread it with a brush) and a little salt. Feel free to use your favorite herbs instead of the rosemary. 

7. Step 7

   Bake the focaccia at 220 ºC for 20 minutes. Let it cool before serving.
