  4. Pre-heat oven to 410F/220C.
  5. Cut the tomatoes in half and place them cut side down on top of the risen focaccia. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with oregano. Bake for 15 minutes then lower the oven to 350F/180C and continue to bake for approximately 20-30 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes, cut and serve. Enjoy!

Notes

  • It's easier to break the lievito madre in pieces if your hands are wet. 
  • It's best to use the weight system (metric) when you work with lievito madre to get the best possible results.
  • While this lievito madre tomato focaccia recipe is best served fresh and warm, you can store it for a few days.
  • Store: Store leftover tomato focaccia in an airtight bag at room temperature up to two days and warm in the microwave or oven. 
  • Freeze: Cool completely then wrap tightly in plastic wrap then in foil. Freeze for up to a month. Thaw at room temperature then refresh in the oven at 325°F for about 5 minutes.
