Instructions

1 Combine the sourdough starter, water, and salt. Then, mix in the flour until a
sticky dough forms. Let it rest for 30 minutes.
2 Stretch and fold the dough over itself, rotating the bowl as you do so. Perform
about 6 stretches and folds. Generously drizzle oil over the dough and coat it
thoroughly. Cover and let it rise at room temperature overnight for about 8-12
hours.
3 The next day, the focaccia dough should have doubled in size and appear somewhat
bubbly. Generously coat a cast-iron skillet with olive oil. Flip the proofing
bowl containing the focaccia dough upside down and shake gently until the dough
releases into the cast-iron skillet.
4 Lightly oil your fingers and gently pat the dough down, then fold the four sides
of the dough into itself (like closing the flaps of a cardboard box). Turn the
dough over so it is seam side down, generously drizzle with olive oil, and coat
thoroughly. Let it rise for another 4-6 hours in the oven turned off. The dough
should double in size and spread to fit most of the pan.
5 Take the proofed focaccia dough out of the oven and preheat the oven to 425°F.
6 Oil your fingers and gently dimple and stretch the dough to fit the pan.
Sprinkle generously with flaky salt or a seasoning salt & herb mix of your
choice.
7 Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown.
