- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast

- 50ml (3.5 tablespoons) olive oil, plus more for drizzling
- 2-3 ripe tomatoes, sliced
- Fresh rosemary sprigs

Instructions
Follow these steps to make your delightful focaccia:
- In a small bowl, mix the lukewarm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Allow it to sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture along with 50ml of olive oil.
- Mix until a sticky dough forms, then knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
- Place the kneaded dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Once risen, preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Transfer the dough onto the prepared baking tray and gently stretch it out with your fingers to fit the tray.
- Create dimples on the surface of the dough with your fingers, then drizzle with more olive oil, sprinkle with coarse sea salt, and lay the sliced tomatoes and rosemary on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes until the focaccia is golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before slicing. Enjoy your homemade vegan focaccia warm!
