Overnight Focaccia
Directions
- 1In a bowl, combine slightly warm water, instant yeast, honey, olive oil, and fine sea salt. Whisk until combined.
- 2Add bread flour and stir until completely hydrated.
- 3Cover the bowl for 10 minutes.
- 4Do a first series of stretch and folds.
- 5Cover again for 10 minutes and do another set of stretch and folds.
- 6Place dough smooth side up in a bowl, top with olive oil, rub it all over and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight.
- 7The next day, remove the dough from the fridge.
- 8Prepare a baking tray by lining it with parchment paper and adding 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil.
- 9With oiled hands, fold the dough into a burrito-like shape, slide it lengthwise into the tray and flip it over so the smooth side is facing up.
- 10Cover and let proof for about 2 hours.
- 11If the dough hasn't spread all the way, oil your hands and spread it out.
- 12Drizzle with olive oil and dimple the dough.
- 13Add toppings of your choice (olives and rosemary are used in this example). Oil the rosemary to prevent burning.
- 14Sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
