How to Make It
Step 1
To bloom the yeast, add the yeast and sugar to a large bowl. Pour in the water, making sure it is lukewarm. Whisk and place the bowl in a warm place for 10-15 minutes. The yeast is ready when there is foam or bubbles on top.
Step 2
Once the yeast has bloomed, add the eggs, 1 tbsp olive oil, and vinegar. Whisk until incorporated. Set the bowl aside.
Step 3
Add the almond flour, psyllium husk, baking powder, and salt to another bowl. Whisk to combine. Add half of the dry ingredients over the wet mixture and whisk to combine.
Step 4
Add the remaining dry ingredients and mix until a rough dough forms. Wash and dry your hands, then knead for a couple of minutes. Cover and rest the dough for 10 minutes.
Step 5
Add 1 tbsp of olive oil to a heavy baking pan or skillet. Add the dough and flatten it until about ½ inch (1.25 cm) in thickness. Wet your fingers with water, and make indentations in the dough.
Step 6
Finely slice the garlic clove, cut the cherry tomatoes into quarters, and scatter them over the dough. Drizzle the remaining oil over the dough and sprinkle the flakey salt on top. Cover the skillet with a wet kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for an hour.
Step 7
At the end of the dough’s proofing time, preheat your oven to 350°F/180°C. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden on top. If the surface starts browning, cover the skillet with foil without touching the focaccia.
Step 8
Take the skillet out of the oven and let it cool for 20-30 minutes. Cut into 9 squares and serve with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Store the rest in an airtight container at room temperate.
