INGREDIENTS
500 g all purpose flour
10 g 's yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
1 small boiled potato
1 tablespoon olive oil
310 ml milk
2 teaspoons salt
Olives, rosemary and cherry tomatoes

DIRECTIONS
In a large bowl put the flour, then the mashed potato. Then, add milk and sugar, and mix (add 1/4 of a cube yeast to the milk, let melt). Slowly pour in the milk, kneading by hand (the secret for a soft focaccia is to keep the dough always well hydrated). Then add the oil and salt, and knead until you get a soft dough. Now leave the dough to rise for about 6 hours (to create the characteristic holes of the focaccia, folded the dough several times on itself every two hours, as shown in the video). Roll out the dough into the greased baking pan, then finish it off with olives, cherry tomatoes and rosemary. Cook in a convection oven at 250 ° for 12 minutes.
