Tips
- To make the focaccia, combine water, honey, yeast, and olive oil in a large bowl. Then add the flour and salt, mixing well until a sticky dough forms. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes. Perform the stretch and fold method twice, allowing the dough to rest for 30 minutes between each fold. Execute a coil fold and let rest for 30 minutes. Perform a final coil fold and refrigerate overnight. The next day, remove the dough from the refrigerator and transfer it to an oiled, parchment-lined baking pan. Let the dough rise until doubled in size, which may take up to 2 hours. Preheat your oven to 200°C. Drizzle generously with olive oil, dimple with fingers, and add your desired toppings. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden brown.
