[/ingredients]

PREPARATION

• Place the sourdough, salt and water in a large bowl. Mix with a spatula to combine – it is not necessary to mix evenly.
• Add the flour. Mix again until the flour is completely incorporated.
• Let stand, covered, 30 min.
• Put your hand in the bowl and pull the dough up and into the center. Turn the bowl a quarter turns and continue this pulling 8 to 10 times.
• Drizzle with a splash of olive oil and spread the olive oil by hand on the surface of the dough.
• Cover the bowl with a tea towel and set aside at room temperature for 4 to 18 hours (the weather will vary depending on the time of year, the strength of the sourdough and the temperature of your kitchen)
• When the dough has doubled, place 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a rectangular pan.
• Drizzle the dough with a tablespoon of olive oil and pour it gently into the center of the mold.
• Fold the dough from top to bottom and side to side to create a coarse rectangle. Turn the dough over so the side of the seam is down.
• Rub the top of the dough with oil. Leave alone for 4 to 6 hours, uncovered, until the dough is almost doubled.
• Heat the oven to 230C.
• With oiled hands and the ten fingers, gently press in the dough to poke holes all over the surface and stretch the dough to fit the mold.
• Sprinkle generously with salt and add a few cherry tomatoes cut in 2 (flat side up) and add a few rosemary leaves.
• Bake and cook for about 25 minutes or until the focaccia is golden brown.
• Remove the pan from the oven and transfer the focaccia to a wire rack for cooling. Let cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing. 

You can cut your focaccia in half lengthwise and stuff it like a sandwich with prosciutto, burrata, spinach leaves ….
