Focaccia is a flat oven-baked Italian bread, similar in style and texture to pizza; in some places, it is called "pizza bianca". It can be served as a side dish or as sandwich bread. 

INGREDIENTS - 
Basil leaves 
1 diced onion 
8-10 cherry tomatoes 
10-12 half cut olives
600g flour 
1008 polenta 
450ml water 
30ml olive oil 


RECIPE - 

1. Take the flour and add yeast, salt, sugar and olive oil. Start mixing and add water in batches till everything comes together. Cover with cling wrap tightly and let it rest in a warm place till it doubles in size. This should take about 45 minutes to 1 hour, it may take longer in winters.  
2. Once your dough is ready, take an oven friendly deep dish and add polenta to it. If you don’t have polenta you can use olive oil to grease the dish. 
3.  Add your dough, press it and add half of your olive oil. Delicately pinch the dough to make small depressions, keeping in mind not to deflate the dough. 
4. Add all your toppings like cherry tomatoes, basil leaves, onions and olives. Take a handful of mozzarella cheese and spread all across the surface. Add salt and pepper to taste and finish off with some olive oil on top. 
5. Cover with cling wrap and let it rest for 20 minutes. 
6. Bake in a preheated oven at 200 C for 12-15 minutes or till the surface becomes golden brown. 
7. Once ready, take it out, let it cool down for 10 minutes.
