Focaccia Alla Messinese

Focaccia alla Messinese is a traditional Sicilian dish, a soft and thick flat bread topped with tomatoes, onions, and oregano.

Ingredients - Serves 8

In a large bowl, combine the flour, water, salt, sugar, and yeast. Knead until a smooth dough forms.
Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for about 2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 220°C (430°F).
Grease a baking sheet with some of the olive oil. Place the dough on the sheet and spread it out with your hands.
Press your fingers into the dough to create dimples. Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the dough.
Top the dough with the cherry tomatoes, onions, and oregano.
Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the focaccia is golden brown.
Let the focaccia cool slightly before cutting it into squares and serving.
