Steps of preparation
- Mix yeast with warm water and sugar and let ferment for 5-10 minutes.
- In the meantime, combine the flour and the potatoes in a bowl.
- Add the water and yeast, the olive oil and the salt.
- Start kneading with a mixer or by hand. The dough will be soft and wet (that’s normal).
- Work the dough for a few minutes, until smooth and supple and almost coming away from the sides of the bowl. Add a little flour if needed.
- With wet hands, shape the dough into a ball and place in a different, lightly oiled bowl.
- Cover with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel leave to rise for about 2 hours in a warm place, away from drafts. The dough should double in volume.
- Turn over on a floured work surface. Gently flatten the dough into a rectangle 4 to 5 cm thick, then transfer to a pan generously oiled with 3 to 4 tablespoons oil. Recommended pan size: 35 cm x 23 cm (13.7 in x 9 in)
- Spread out the tomato halves over the dough, drizzle with a little olive oil, then sprinkle with fleur de sel and oregano. Cover with plastic wrap again and leave to rise for 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 200 °C (390-400 °F) and cook for about 20 minutes. The focaccia should rise, then become golden and crispy on top.
- Add parmesan.
- Let cool before serving.
