Hazırlanışı

1. Mix together 4 1/2 cups of the flour, 2 tablespoons of oil, salt, and yeast in a large bowl. Add the wine, and then just enough warm water along with the olives to bring the mixture together into a shaggy ball. Dump the dough onto a lightly floured counter, and begin to knead with the heels of your hand.
Knead for about 5 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and pliant, adding a little additional flour as needed to keep the dough from sticking.
Add a little oil (2 tablespoons) to the bottom of a large bowl and place your ball of dough inside.
Roll the ball around in the oil, ensuring the sides of the bowl, and ball of dough are both lightly oiled.
Cover your bowl with plastic wrap and place in a warm spot to rise. (I cover mine with a kitchen towel on top of the plastic wrap and sit it on a large sunny windowsill.)
Let the dough rise until it is doubled in size, about an hour or an hour and a half depending on ambient temperature. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper that has been lightly brushed with olive oil. Divide the dough into four equal pieces and roll each into a round disc. Use your fingers to stretch each disc into a 7 to 8 inch circle and place two circles on each baking sheet. Cover the dough circles with a clean kitchen towel and let rest while the oven heats. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Use your fingertips to create dimples across the top of each focaccini, then drizzle with a tablespoon or two of olive oil and sprinkle with some coarse sea salt. Bake the focaccini until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 18 to 20 minutes (internal temperature of 190 degrees F.) Allow to cool to room temperature, then enjoy!
