    Preparation Steps

    1

    Dissolve the yeast and sugar in the warm water, then let it stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.

    2

    In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.

    3

    Knead the dough well until it is smooth and elastic. If it's too sticky, add a little more flour.

    4

    Place the dough in an olive oil-greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.

    5

    Pour the risen dough into an olive oil-greased baking sheet and spread it evenly.

    6

    Let the dough rest for another 30 minutes to rise again. 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 slice and serve.
