How to make the Apulian Focaccia
Boil a potato of about 100 grams (cut it into 4 parts to do first), mash it with a potato masher and put it in a large bowl together with the flour, salt and crumbled yeast (or baking powder)
add a little water and then the remaining flush, knead for about ten minutes until the dough is smooth and it will begin to make an almost crackling noise typical of a dough that has incorporated a lot of air, pay attention to the dough should not be like that of pizza but slightly more sticky and in any case able to detach easily from the walls of the bowl, divide the dough in two and add a drizzle of oil to make the dough detach from the bowl
abundantly oil the first pan lay the dough turning it over (so as to cover both sides with oil), roll it out and sink your fingers to create hollows, break the tomatoes with your hands (let the juice and seeds fall on the surface) and arrange the cherry tomatoes facing down, add another drizzle of oil then the salt and finally the oregano, let it rise for about 30-40 minutes or more (depending on whether you like it higher or lower, I like the focaccia low so 30 minutes was enough)
bake in a very hot preheated oven (220-240 °) for about 30 minutes. And here is your Apulian focaccia ready.
