Ingredients

  • For the dough:
    • Wheat bread flour – 250 g
    • 150 ml water
    • Dry baker’s yeast – one tsp
    • Sugar – 1/2 tsp
    • Salt – 1/2 tsp
  • For the filling:
    • White Tuna – 3 tins
    • Pitted black olives
    • Oregano
    • Basil
    • Vera paprika flakes

Preparation

  1. In a bowl, mix the water with the baker’s yeast; add the salt and the sugar, and then the flour.
  2. Mix it all with a spoon in the bowl. When it’s all almost combined, tip the dough on the counter where you’ll knead it until you get a uniform dough.
  3. Shape the dough into a ball, place it in a dry bowl sprinkled with flour and leave it to rest so that it ferments and doubles its volume (one hour to one hour and a half in a warm location).
  4. Once it has raised, tip the dough onto the counter and slightly degas it.
  5. Preheat the oven to 200 ºC.
  6. With the help of a kitchen scale divide the dough into portions.
  7. Make balls with the portions and flatten them with a rolling pin until they are approximately one to one and a half centimetres thick.
  8. Place the bases of the mini-focaccias on an oven tray with oven paper on it.
  9. With your finger, make small holes in the dough and fill them with the olives and the tuna.
  10. Sprinkle the spices over them.
  11. Oven bake the mini-focaccias for some 10 minutes, until the base is golden and crunchy.
  12. Remove from the oven and serve hot.

Spectacular, thanks Rocío!
