Yield Makes 1 focaccia

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 package (1/4 ounce) instant yeast
5 cups all-purpose flour, preferably organic
2 1/2 teaspoons fine sea salt
Olive oil, for bowl and baking sheet
1/2 pound Pecorino Pepato, thinly sliced
2 lemons, very thinly sliced crosswise
1 sprig rosemary, leaves only
1/4 teaspoon fleur de sel
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine yeast and 2 1/2 cups flour with 2 cups water; whisk to combine. Let stand 15 minutes.
  • Add remaining 2 1/2 cups flour and salt; mix until well combined. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured work surface; knead until wet and tacky, but not sticky, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a well-oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let stand until doubled in size, 3 1/2 to 4 hours.
  • Oil a large rimmed baking sheet and press dough evenly into baking sheet. Let rise until puffy, about 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Cover dough with Pecorino Pepato and lemon slices and sprinkle with rosemary leaves and salt; drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil. Transfer to oven and bake for 15 minutes. Rotate baking sheet, and continue baking until lemons and crust are golden brown, about 15 minutes more.
  • Remove bread from baking sheet and transfer to a wire rack to cool at least 10 minutes before serving.
