Ingredients

500 g Bread flour
420 ml Warm water
1 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
2 tsp salt
1 tsp Active dry yeast
1 tsp Honey
Herbs of choice

Instructions

Start with adding water, salt, yeast, honey and olive oil in a large mixing bowl.
Mix ingredients together until the salt is dissolved. Add in flour and mix until you get a dough like constancy with all the water being absorbed into the flour.
Cover with a kitchen cloth and leave in room temperature for 10 minutes. Next, pull the dough up and fold over itself. Cover up again, and let it sit for another 10 minutes. Repeat this process 1 more time. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the fridge overnight.
After 12 or more hours in the fridge, remove the raised dough and place into a 9 x 13 greased up pan. Cover the pan with a kitchen towel and let it sit in room temperature for 2 hours.
Drizzle the top with olive oil, season with salt and gently press down with just your fingers. You will notice air bubbles forming. Leave them, that's what you want.
If you chose to use herbs, this is the perfect time to add them in before the bake.
Preheat the grill or oven to 450 degrees. Place the baking pan with the dough init and let it bake for 20 minutes. Once you notice tan or darker brown colors over the top, it's time to remove the Focaccia bread.
