    05 - Oil an oven tray about 40x30cm / 16x11in.

    06 - Put the dough on the oiled tray, oil your hands, and start stretching the dough in all directions. Don't press to hard on it, be gentle.

    07 - Cover the tray with cling film, making sure not to stick the film on the dough. Let the dough rest in the oven (not heated with light on) for an extra hour.

    08 - Preheat the oven to 180C / 350F.

    Notes:

    - Focaccia must be wet before baking, so don't be scared to wet it.
