Palo Del Colle - Focaccia - potatoes

Method

• Dissolve yeast in lukewarm water. Measure flour onto large wood board making a well in the center. Pour in yeast mixture. Add mashed potatoe, olive oil, and salt. Knead until a large ball forms. If too sticky, add more flour. Rise in warm place in a lightly greased covered bowl for 5 hours. Knead again, stretch dough to fit a 11x15 inch oiled baking pan. Cover tightly with foil and rise one more hour. Make indentations in dough with fingers. Crush tomatoes into indentations, pour liquid over top. Sprinkle with oregano, black pepper, and garlic. Bake in 350 degree oven until golden brown (about 50 mins). Slice mozarella thin over focaccia. Bake 10 more mins until cheese melts. Serve warm and hot.
