Preparation Steps
1
Place the flour in a large bowl and make a well in the center. Crumble in the yeast and add the sugar. Pour in the lukewarm water and let it sit for 5-10 minutes, allowing the yeast to activate.
2
Once the yeast has proofed, add the olive oil, salt, and dried oregano. Mix well, then knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. If necessary, add a little more flour.
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 1 inch (2-3 cm). Place it in a baking sheet greased with olive oil.
5
Arrange the halved cherry tomatoes and sliced olives on top of the dough, and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese. Let it rest for another 15 minutes.
6
Preheat the oven to 430°F (220°C) and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the focaccia is golden brown and crispy.
7
After baking, let it cool for 10 minutes, then serve garnished with fresh basil leaves.
