- 10 g of psyllium peels
- 210 ml water
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 6,5 gr fresh brewer’s yeast

PROCEDURE
Sift the flours into a bowl or mix them with a whisk to oxygenate them and eliminate any lumps Prepare the “liquid pre-dough”, in a bowl we pour 95 g of flour and 95 ml of water where you will have dissolved the brewer’s yeast.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it rest for 2 hours Now you can add the rest of the ingredients to the “liquid pre-dough” by sifting the flours. Work with a fork until you get a well mixed dough.
Cover the mold you have chosen for cooking with baking paper. Pour the mixture into the mold and let it rest for another hour. Bake the focaccia at 180°C for 20 minutes, until the surface is pleasantly golden.
