Steps

  1. 1

    Place the sourdough starter, sugar, and water in the bowl of a stand mixer. Using the paddle attachment, mix until mostly dissolved and a light foam forms.

  2. 2

    Switch to the dough hook and add the all-purpose flour, semolina flour, mashed boiled potatoes, and salt. Begin kneading the dough.

  3. 3

    After a few minutes, slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil while continuing to knead for about 10-15 minutes.

  4. 4

    Transfer the dough to a bowl, cover well with a kitchen towel, and let it rest at room temperature for 1 hour.

  5. 5

    Place the dough in the refrigerator and let it rise for 36 hours.

  6. 6

    After this time, remove the dough from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 2 hours to come to room temperature.

  7. 7

    Divide the dough into 2 pieces and stretch each one directly onto oiled baking pans.

  8. 8

    Arrange halved cherry tomatoes, cut side down, over the surface of the dough. Do this over the pans so any juices fall directly onto the dough.

  9. 9

    Make the brine by whisking together the water, extra virgin olive oil, and dried oregano.

  10. 10

    Gently press the tomatoes into the dough, then drizzle both focaccias with the brine. Cover with a towel and let rise for another 2 hours in the oven with the light on (oven turned off).

Sono una mamma, lavoratrice, che ha scelto di costruire un futuro migliore per la propria famiglia anche attraverso l'alimentazione e l'attenzione verso l'ambiente, perché siamo noi l'esempio per le prossime generazioni. Si pensa troppo spesso che seguire un'alimentazione biologica sia difficile, impegnativo e troppo costoso... nulla di più sbagliato! Il mio intento è dimostrare che basta solo volerlo e il cambiamento è a portata di mano. Migliorare le nostre abitudini alimentari è molto più facile di quanto si pensi: viviamo in un territorio ricco di tipicità, varietà e prodotti di qualità elevatissima! Basta iniziare da pochi e piccoli cambiamenti, un passo alla volta e si può arrivare anche molto lontano se si desidera!
