Focus - means fire and Panis focacius literally means "a flatbread baked in the coals". Often, with the word focaccia people refer to all its possible variants. However, this term mainly refers to the classic Focaccia Genoese. It's about ½ inch thick, a little chewy but still soft inside with a delicious olive oil.
Instructions to make Focaccia alla Genovese:
- Pre-heat the oven 200 degrees.
- Put the flour in a big bowl, then add the salt and the water, when the salt is dissolved add the yeast. Work everything together until smooth. Transfer onto a wooden board and keep working. When smooth and elastic, add the oil and keep working until it is all absorbed. Then transfer again into the bowl, cover with a tea towel and leave to rest in a warm place for at least 2 hours.
- After 2 hours, the dough should raise at least 1 and a half time the original size. Oil an oven tray (I used a round one), and then lay your dough in it, being careful not to break it. Make some holes on the surface (without breaking it though!) - they say to use your finger, but I always push too much and leave nail marks - so I used the handle of a wooden spoon :) About 1cm away from each other.
- Now for the coating: in a glass mix the water and the salt until it's dissolved. Cover the dough with this mixture (that's why you have made the holes, so it gets trapped in there!), and then add the coating oil.
- Cook in the oven 200 degrees for 15 / 20 minutes until it's golden. Add a sprinkle of sea salt on top.
