When I spent my holidays in the south, I loved eating foccacia. Here is a recipe for authentic, soft foccacia that is easy to make, and you can also vary it with bacon and cheese for a change. This Mediterranean delight will make your mouth water!

Ingredients
 150 Pitted green olive
 1 Baker's yeast
 350 Flour
 15 Lukewarm water
 4 Olive oil
 1 Herb salt
 1 Egg
Directions
1

Preparation of the yeast Dilute the packet of yeast in 2 tablespoons of warm water and let it sit for 10 minutes.

2

Preparation of the olives Rinse the olives if they were in vinegar, then cut them into pieces. Place them in a bowl and drizzle a little olive oil on top.

3

Dough preparation In a mixing bowl, pour in the flour, oil, the remaining warm water, and the yeast. Knead for 5 minutes and then add the salt. Next, add the olives and knead again.

4

Rest and shape the dough. Let it rest in a warm place for at least 2 hours until it doubles in volume. Preheat the oven to 240°C. Roll out the dough into an oval shape on a floured work surface, it should be about 3 cm thick.
