Preparation
Focaccia
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt and yeast.
- Add the water and stir the mixture with a spatula until you obtain a moist dough ball. Coat the dough ball with 2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil with your hands.
- Cover with plastic wrap or a damp towel and refrigerate for at least 12 hours. Make sure the towel is tightly wrapped around the top of the bowl to prevent air from entering.
- Using two forks, deflate the dough by bringing the edges of the dough towards the center several times, creating a dough ball.
- Grease a 9 x 13-inch pan with a little oil. Pour 2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil in the bottom of the pan. Place the ball of dough in the mold and coat well with olive oil, turning a few times. Let the dough rise in the pan for 3 to 4 hours on the counter, uncovered.
- Preheat oven to 425°F and place rack in center. Spread 1 tablespoon olive oil over the dough. Using your fingers, create deep dimples in the dough.
- Insert strawberry pieces into the small cavities. This step will prevent the strawberries from burning. Add a sprinkling of flaky sea salt and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Serve with olive oil and balsamic reduction!
