Preparation Steps
1
Place the flour in a large bowl and make a well in the center. Crumble in the fresh yeast and add the sugar. Pour in the warm water and let it stand for 5-10 minutes, until the yeast activates and becomes frothy.
2
Once the yeast has proofed, 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
Evenly spread the pesto rosso over the dough, then sprinkle with the grated Parmesan cheese.
6
Gently press the dough with your fingertips to create small dimples.
7
Preheat the oven to 430°F (220°C) and bake 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.
