During my younger days, I went to a restaurant in Sicily, Italy and had this thick focaccia that was so delicious. I thought I wouldn't be able to make it at home, but tried many different ways. Then, as a result of playing with the amount of flour and baking time, I finally settled on this recipe. My friend asked me to teach it to them next time, so I uploaded the recipe.

There really are no tricks, and I think it can be done relatively easily♪. You can enjoy it freshly baked or chilled, but I eat it after toasting it if it is chilled. For 24 cm [9.4 in] round pan. Recipe by Soraumitomo

Steps

1

Put the ingredients in a bread maker and leave until the first rising is done.
2

Coat a 24cm pie pan with olive oil and add in the dough. Mist and wrap with plastic wrap then bench for 10 minutes.
3

Cover your hands in powder and spread it out to fill the pan. Mist, and let rise for the second time for 40 minutes. (You can roll it up into a 24cm piece onto a metal sheet if you don't have a pie pan).
4

This is what it looks like after rising.
5

Brush the surface with olive oil using a brush, and poke holes in it with your finger.
6

Please top with whatever you like. I used parsley sauce and rock salt this time.
7

Bake in the oven at 200°C for 15~17 minutes.

It's thick, so slice it and make a delicious sandwich with ingredients such as vegetables and bacon.
