Tall and Soft Focaccia, is simple and quick to make, similar to focaccia with cherry tomatoes, also delicious with stracchino cheese and ham focaccia. For the preparation, you need flour, oil, and dry yeast, along with some elbow grease. It’s my favorite recipe because it’s super soft and the oil gives it an exceptional flavor! It can be served with various cured meats like speck, prosciutto, Hungarian salami along with a nice cheese board, ideal to serve as an appetizer and with step-by-step photos and the video, you certainly won’t go wrong.

How to Prepare a Tall and Soft Focaccia
Pour the flour into a large bowl along with the yeast. Add the water, oil, and salt, then mix everything together.
Once the flour is mixed, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the mixture rest for about 15 minutes at room temperature.
After the resting time, do the folds, always inside the bowl, pulling the edges towards the center.
Repeat the folds again and let it rest for 2 hours, always covered with plastic wrap.
At this point, turn the dough onto a well-oiled baking tray, then spread it with your hands and let it rise for 20 minutes.
Season with the oil and water emulsion, along with grains of coarse salt and rosemary needles.
At this point, bake in the oven at 356°F with static mode, until golden; it will take about 25 minutes.
Cut into slices and serve with cured meats and cheeses.
