Bread...Italian bread is especially delicious!The smell of herbs used by Italians to prepare different dishes drives our taste buds crazy!The variety of bread in their cuisine is huge, in every region of Italy they bake their own bread and, in every region, it is special and very tasty.I suggest one of such bread recipes as "Focaccia".The taste is amazing, and the aroma of this freshly baked bread is incredible!The first thing we need for cooking is flour, it must necessarily be grade 00 or extra, only then will we get "Focaccia" Italian, even if cooked by hands not of Italian blood)Flour sift through a fine sieve (you can do this twice to saturate with oxygen).Making sourdough:2 table.l of flour is combined with yeast and 2 table.l of sugar, mix everything well, add a glass of warm, boiled water, mix until smooth, cover with cling film and a towel, put in a warm place for 20-25 minutes so that the yeast is well activated.Next, add salt, olive oil to the dough and gradually add the remaining amount of water and flour, knead a homogeneous dough (it will stick to your hands, but do not increase the amount of flour!otherwise, the dough will simply "clog" and you will get a stone at the exit, and not bread).This dough should stand from 2 to 15 hours!within 15 hours, the dough will be very active!lightly dust the table with flour, spread the dough, stretch it slightly with your hands and fold the sides, fold it again, put it in a bowl under a film and put it in a warm place, so repeat at least 3 times!When the dough is ready for cooking, proceed to the garlic sauce:squeeze the garlic, add olive oil, sea salt and oregano to it, combine well until the salt dissolves.In a form greased with olive oil, we spread our dough (I have a split form , with a diameter of 28 cm, cover the bottom with parchment,lubricate with olive oil), let the dough stand for 10-15 minutes, then we make holes in the dough with our finger and put cherry tomatoes and olives in them, lubricate our bread with garlic butter with a cooking brush and send it to the preheated oven to 180’ for 50-55 minutes or until a golden brown crust, it all depends on the specifics of the oven.Bon appetit!
