Steps

Prepare the Pre-Ferment

1
For the focaccia pre-ferment, add the active yeast and warm water to a deep bowl and mix.
2
Sift 1 Turkish tea glass of flour over the mixture and mix thoroughly.
3
Cover and let rest for 20 minutes.

Make and Knead the Dough

4
In another bowl, mix the warm water and olive oil.
5
Add the warm water and olive oil mixture to the rested yeast mixture and mix.
6
Sift the flour over the mixture.
7
Add the salt and rosemary, then mix with a spatula or spoon.
8
Gather the dough with your hands by folding it from bottom to top.
9
Pour 2 tablespoons of olive oil into a separate deep bowl. Place the prepared soft dough into this bowl, cover, and let rest for 40 minutes.

Shape and Proof

10
Pour half a Turkish tea glass of olive oil into the baking dish. Holding the rested dough from opposite sides with both hands inside the pan, lift it into the air so that it folds in half in the air and the opposite ends meet, then place it folded into the pan. Grasp the opposite two edges and fold it once more in the same way, placing it in the center of the baking dish. Cover and let rest for 15 minutes.
11
Gently press the dough in the dish with your fingers to spread it completely across the bottom of the pan. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over it. Cover and let rest for 15 minutes.

Top and Bake

12
Place the olives, cherry tomatoes, and fresh rosemary onto the dough. Sprinkle the salt as well. Bake in a preheated 180°C oven.
