Focaccina, a small Italian flatbread, is suitable for beach picnics and can be prepared with homemade or store-bought dough. The basic dough combines bread flour, salt, yeast, sugar, warm water, and olive oil, which is kneaded until smooth and allowed to rise until doubled. After dividing the dough, it is shaped and topped with ingredients like cherry tomatoes, onions, and cheese, baked at 450°F for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Serve warm with drizzled olive oil for an enjoyable snack.
Combine bread flour, salt, sugar, and yeast in a large bowl or stand mixer. Add warm water and olive oil to form a sticky dough. Knead until smooth.
After kneading, place the dough in an oiled bowl. Allow it to rise until it doubles in size, then punch down, divide, and knead each half smooth.
Preheat the oven to 450°F, dimple the dough, and top with cherry tomatoes, onions, cheese, oregano, black pepper, and salt before baking for 15-20 minutes.
Once golden brown, cool the focaccine slightly before removing from the pan, serve warm with olive oil drizzled on top.
