Method

• 1.
  Place the yeast, honey and 80ml (1/3 cup) warm water in a bowl and stir to combine. Set aside for 10-15 minutes to activate the yeast - it should start to bubble.
• 2.
  Sift the flour into a large bowl and add 1 teaspoon of salt. Make a well in the centre, and add the yeast mixture, 2 tablespoons of the oil and 100ml warm water. Use your hands to combine to form a dough. Generously dust your work surface with flour, turn out the dough and knead for 5 minutes until you have a smooth ball. (Alternatively you can use a mixer with a dough hook.)
• 3.
  Transfer to a clean bowl, cover with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm spot for at least 1 hour or until doubled in size. Tip out the dough and use your hands to form it into a 30 x 24cm rectangle.
• 4.
  Press into a lightly greased shallow baking tray and use your fingers to prod dimples over the surface of the dough.
• 5.
  Combine orange zest, garlic, rosemary and remaining oil in a bowl and brush over dough. Sit olives in the indents and set aside in a warm place for 30 minutes.
• 6.
  Preheat oven to 200°C.
• 7.
  Sprinkle sea salt over focaccia and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden. Serve warm.
