Preparation Steps
1
First, prepare the yeast: in a bowl, combine the warm water and sugar, then crumble in the yeast. Let it sit for 10 minutes, until foamy.
2
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Once the yeast is foamy, add the olive oil and pour it into the flour mixture. Mix well, then knead until you have a smooth dough.
3
Cover the dough and let it rest for 1 hour to rise. The ideal temperature is around 77°F (25°C).
4
When the dough has risen, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and gently roll it out into a rectangular shape.
5
Chop the almonds into small pieces and sprinkle them over the rolled-out dough. Pour the champagne over the almonds and dough.
6
Fold the edges of the dough over, then gently press the almonds and champagne into the dough.
7
Let the dough rest for another 15 minutes, then bake in a preheated oven at 392°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, until the top is golden brown.
8
When done, let it cool slightly, then slice and serve fresh.
