Preparation Steps
1
Place the flour in a large bowl and make a well in the center. Crumble the yeast into the well, add the sugar, and pour in the lukewarm water. Let it stand for 5-10 minutes until the yeast starts to foam.
2
Once the yeast has foamed, add the olive oil and salt. Mix well, then knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic.
3
Shape the dough into a ball, return it to the bowl, cover, and let it rest in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
4
When the dough has risen, roll it out to a thickness of about 2-3 cm (approximately 1 inch). Place it in a baking sheet greased with olive oil.
5
Slice the tomatoes and grill them in a pan with a little olive oil for 2-3 minutes, until lightly charred.
6
Arrange the grilled tomato slices on the dough, then sprinkle with ricotta cheese. Gently press down on the dough to embed the ingredients.
7
Bake in a preheated oven at 430°F (220°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until the focaccia is golden brown and crispy.
8
After baking, let it cool for 10 minutes, then slice and serve.
