Homemade Focaccia with Olives and Tomatoes

Hello everybody. Tonight we make focaccia. Now this is the water I gotta put the yeast

It's a little warm water. The dry yeast I gotta use a spoon and a half. One and a half

And with a fork, I do like this, like this it loosen up the yeast. Now, the yeast it

can stay over here. Leave over here for ten minutes. Now we gotta use the flour. Three

cups and a half of flour. Okay. Now, so this is all we have four, it's four cups. But this

is three and a half cups. Now the water it's a little warm. It's two cups water. And I

got one cup over here with the yeast. So you need a little bit more water. You can put

a little bit more water. Now, on the flour, I gotta use salt and oil. And I start to mix

this like this. Because the yeast with the water it gotta stay a little bit more. Like

this I mix the salt, the oil, everything. Now the yeast is ready. And I start to put

everything at one time. Because I know it needs more water. And you mix this really good

So you got a machine, you can do it with a machine. And now what I do, I put a little

oil on the dish over here. And I put a little oil on my hands. Mix it together. My hands

both. Now this, it's about three pounds. All together. Okay. And you put it right on the

dish like that. Make sure you put a little oil. And this you cover. You keep it in the

refrigerator for three hours and this will be ready. You keep it outside one hour and

a half, it will be ready. Okay now this focaccia I was preparing today and I put it in the

refrigerator for three hours. That's what it look like. Look how beautiful it look

The difference it's like this. The focaccia and the pizza dough. It's almost the same

But the focaccia you use a little extra oil. And when you put it on the pan, you can use

a lot of oil. Because the pizza you don't use too much oil when you do the pizza. We

gotta put oil on this pan over here. Okay. And we do like that. Now this piece of paper

we cover this one. Cut this. After you put it in the refrigerator, it can grow like this

Or you can cut already, you put it in a plastic bag for freeze and you can freeze this. Or

you keep it in the refrigerator. Now we put this right on this box over here. Okay. And

we gotta start. Push down like this. Okay now I was buy this tomato because it got a

little cherry tomato but it's too small. And I was buy this. What I do with this, I cut

it in half. And you what you do, you squeeze and you put it like that. Okay now I do a

quarter and a half like this. This oregano, it's bad because nobody can smell this oregano

This I did by myself, it's so good. And we put a little oregano on the top like this

And we put another drop of a little oil. And a little salt. Not too much salt because the

focaccia dough already I put salt. Now this is 400 degrees and we put this for 25 minutes

Alright. Good. Okay the focaccia I think be ready to go. And we put right over here

Look how nice it look. Huh? Look how beautiful
