Steps for White Focaccia Stuffed with Tuna and Salad

• To prepare this wonderful white focaccia stuffed with tuna and salad, you need to make the dough. Pour the sifted flours into the stand mixer’s bowl, dissolve the fresh yeast in two fingers of water, add the honey, and mix using the hook attachment. Gradually add the water and continue kneading. Finally, add the salt and then the olive oil and continue to knead until the dough is smooth. This process takes about 15-18 minutes in total. Make sure not to overheat the dough. This process can also be done by hand using a bowl. When the dough is ready, fold it a few times for reinforcement and let it rise in an oiled bowl covered with plastic wrap until it doubles in size. This will take about 3 hours. After rising, turn the dough onto a large rectangular baking tray 12×16 inches, well-oiled. Stretch with your hands and let it rest covered with plastic wrap or a towel for another 40 minutes. Finally, pour abundant extra virgin olive oil and salt onto the surface of the dough and make the typical dimples gently with your fingers. Be careful not to deflate the dough or any bubbles. Bake in a preheated static oven at 482°F for about 20-25 minutes or until golden. Once ready, let it cool completely.

  

• When the focaccia is cool, cut it in half and fill the base with mayonnaise, tuna, tomatoes, and salad. Cut into slices and serve. I hope you like this latest recipe, see you next time, friends.
