Focaccia Novese

Mix flour, water, yeast, sugar, fine salt, and 2 tablespoons olive oil into a soft dough.

Knead until smooth, then cover and let rise until puffy and nearly doubled.

Stretch the dough thinly into an oiled sheet pan and rest until relaxed.

Dimple the surface deeply with your fingers, spoon over a brine of water and olive oil, and sprinkle with flaky salt.

Bake in a hot oven until golden, crisp at the edges, and glossy with olive oil.
