Mix the flour, instant yeast, granulated sugar, and 1 dessert spoon of the salt.
Add the warm water and half of the olive oil, then knead a soft, slightly sticky dough.
Rest the dough for 70 minutes, until doubled.
Grease the tray with some of the olive oil, spread the dough into the tray, and let it rise for another 40 minutes.
Oil your fingertips and press dimples into the dough.
Whisk the remaining olive oil, water, and remaining salt, drizzle over the dough, and sprinkle with coarse sea salt.
Bake the focaccia at 220°C for 22 minutes, until golden.
Rest it in the tray for 10 minutes before removing and slicing.
💡 Tip: Do not pull the dough aggressively as you spread it in the tray; pausing for 10 minutes lets the gluten relax and prevents tearing.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Slice the focaccia while warm and place it on a breakfast tray with tomatoes, olives, and white cheese if desired.
