    2 cups flour, 1 1/2 tsp yeast, 1/2 tsp salt, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tbsp dried coriander
  • Add 2 tbsp olive oil. Fold a few times into the dough, then knead using your hands for around five minutes. You don't need much longer, but it really does make a difference to the resulting texture and fluffiness of the focaccia.
    6 tbsp olive oil
  • Cover the dough with a kitchen towel and set aside to rise for 1-2 hours.
  • When almost done rising, preheat the oven to 180 degrees C/350 F. Line a large baking tray with parchment paper, add the focaccia dough, and stretch it out into a rectangle.
  • Dimple the focaccia using your fingers, drizzle the rest of the olive oil on top, and sprinkle with sea salt, before adding the cherry tomatoes.
