Mix together the flour, yeast, salt, garlic powder, chilli flakes and dried coriander. Then, gradually pour in cold water, and mix until a dough starts to form.
2 cups flour, 1 ½ tsp yeast, ½ tsp salt, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tbsp dried coriander
Add 2 tbsp olive oil. Fold a few times into the dough, then knead using your hands for around five minutes. You don't need much longer, but it really does make a difference to the resulting texture and fluffiness of the focaccia.
6 tbsp olive oil
Cover the dough with a kitchen towel and set aside to rise for 1-2 hours.
When almost done rising, preheat the oven to 180 degrees C/350 F. Line a large baking tray with parchment paper, add the focaccia dough, and stretch it out into a rectangle.
Dimple the focaccia using your fingers, drizzle the rest of the olive oil on top, and sprinkle with sea salt, before adding the cherry tomatoes.
2 cups cherry tomatoes, 6 tbsp olive oil
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, until golden brown. Allow to cool for around 5 minutes before serving.
