The one I made today:
- rough, wet dough something like a ciabatta dough (btw, the spell check on SI thinks that is spelled wrong just like focaccia ... somebody has got to teach it Italian???) Anywho, I used a sourdough that has been resting in the fridge for 1/2 year with more flour, yeast, sugar, salt, rosemary, thyme, buttermilk and butter. It took about 6 hours for the first rising to get over the top of the bowl.
- cut it up into 6 pieces - 5 for the fridge and the last for the focaccia. It was a little over a pound.
- cut that last piece into two and put it between two plastic wrap films and used my hands to form a rough 9x9 piece.
- put the flattened piece in my flexible 9x9 pan after buttering it (the flexible pan).
- put some of the onions left over from GZ's recipe on it with olives and capers.
- flattened the other half-piece the same way and covered the one in the pan with it.
- sprinkled parmesan cheese on it liberally and let it rise until doubled... actually more than doubled.
- used my fingers to create deep indentations in the top - probably about 25 in all.
- sprinkled about a tsp of kosher salt on it.
- poured about a tablespoon of EV olive oil on it.
Put in a convection oven and let it bake 5 minutes, rest 5 minutes, bake 5 minutes, rest 5 minutes and then turned it out of the pan and baked another 5 minutes directly on the rack.

- Put on a cooling rack for 1/2 hour and then into an open paper bag for safe keeping.

It smells delicious and the outside is nice and crisp. It's for breakfast tomorrow so I'll let you know how it turns out.
