How to prepare Nino's focaccia recipe without Thermomix

1. Place the potato , after peeling it and cutting it into chunks, into a mixer together with the yeast . Blend at high speed for one minute. This recipe was created for the Thermomix: if you have it you can follow the dedicated recipe .
2. Transfer the mixture into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the hook, then add the water , flour , salt and sugar and knead for 5 minutes. When the dough has come together, transfer it to a bowl to rise for at least an hour or until doubled. We recommend placing it in the oven with the light on and the light on.
3. Now divide the dough and spread it into two well-oiled round pans of approximately 24 cm in diameter. Use your fingertips and not a rolling pin so as not to break the bubbles formed during leavening. Alternatively you can use the oven tray.
4. Let it rise for another 30 minutes before decorating it with cherry tomatoes, oregano, a few flakes of coarse salt and drizzle it with a drizzle of oil. Bake at 200°C for 20 minutes.
