Focaccia with Tomato, Green Onion and Garlic Recipe

In a large bowl, add the flour and make a well in the center. Dissolve the coarse salt in a few tablespoons of water in a separate small bowl, then add it to the flour along with the proofed yeast mixture and 4 tablespoons of olive oil.

Using your hands (and a spatula to scrape the bowl as needed), mix everything until a shaggy dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a clean surface and knead it for at least 10 minutes, or until it feels smooth, soft, and pliable beneath your hands, adding a bit of flour as needed.
