Preparation method

How do you make this?

Mix water, yeast, and sugar in a large bowl. Let it rest for 5 minutes. Add the flour and half of the salt and mix together with a spatula. Pour half of the olive oil over it and let it rest for at least 2 hours or put it in the fridge overnight.

Preheat the oven to 230 °C.

Grease your baking pan with some of the remaining olive oil and pour the dough into it. Push it into the corners. Let it rest and pour the rest of the olive oil over it. Make dimples with your fingers to make the dough airier. Be careful, very ASMR. Not sure what this means? Just ask your kids.

Sprinkle the rest of the salt over it, along with the thyme.

Bake for 30 minutes at 230 °C.

Remove the focaccia from the pan to cool. This keeps it crispy.

Cut into large rectangles. Then cut those in half lengthwise and spread one side with cream cheese and the other with pesto. Generously top with lettuce, cheese, mortadella, onions, and hot sauce if you like. Press down a bit and put on your biggest smile. It'll be fine!
