Steps:
- Put the flour, yeast and 1 tsp salt in a large bowl, ensuring the yeast and salt don't touch. Pour in 350ml lukewarm water and the olive oil, and bring together with a spoon to form a wet, elastic dough. If using a stand mixer, knead for 5 mins or until the dough stops sticking to the side of the bowl. If kneading by hand, knead for 10 mins on a lightly floured surface.
- Put the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean, damp tea towel and leave to rise for 1 hr or until doubled in size.
- Line a 20 x 30cm roasting tin with a piece of crumpled baking parchment. Cut the dough in half and press, as lightly as possible, one half into the roasting tin, stretching it out to fill the tin. Cover with the basil, mozzarella and pine nuts, then spread out the other half of the dough and place on top. Cover and leave to rise for 1 hr or until light and puffy.
- Meanwhile, heat oven to 200C/ 180C fan/gas 6. Once risen, press indents with your fingers into the top of the dough. The dough is ready if the indents stay; if they bounce back, leave the dough for longer. Fill the indents with pesto, then sprinkle with a little flaky sea salt and drizzle with a little olive oil.
- Bake on the top shelf of the oven for 25-30 mins, without opening the oven door, until golden.
- Transfer to a wire rack and leave to cool completely. Take to your picnic whole and slice into 10-12 sandwiches when serving.

SALMON PESTO FOCACCIA SANDWICHES
I'm lucky I don't ever have to use canned salmon, so I use grilled fresh salmon leftovers for this great sandwich. My recipe source here is the Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute who acknowledged Edwina Gadsby of Great Falls, Montana. This recipe was 1 of 6 winners of the "LUV SALMON SO MUCH" recipe contest & it's a winner in my book too. This makes a very good brunch or luncheon item, but is also esp good for TO GO occasions because of its easy portability & the fact the sandwinches can be made up to 6 hrs in advance. Enjoy!

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh basil and garlic. If you don't have fresh basil, you can use dried basil, but the flavor will be less intense.
- Pine nuts are the traditional nut used in pesto, but you can substitute other nuts, such as walnuts or almonds, if you prefer. You can also use seeds instead of nuts, such as sunflower or pumpkin seeds.
- To make the focaccia bread, you can use a stand mixer or mix the dough by hand. If you're using a stand mixer, be careful not to over-mix the dough, as this will make it tough.
- When assembling the sandwich, be sure to spread the pesto evenly over the bread. You can also add other toppings, such as sliced tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, or roasted vegetables.
- If you're making the sandwich ahead of time, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. When you're ready to serve, let the sandwich come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before unwrapping it.
Conclusion:
