To prepare the salty water dissolve 30 g of salt in 600 g of water.
Sprinkle the focaccia surface evenly with 200g of the brine and bake at 280 °C for 15 minutes (deck oven).

In order to make the production more flexible, it is possible to pre-cook the focaccia following this instruction. Bake at 260/270°C for 10/11 minuti, then cool. Package the pieces of focaccia into food containers or food bag made of plastic, in order to maintain the humidity, then keep in a fridge and use within 3 days.
When necessary, bake at 280°C for 3/4 minute until the focaccia take on a brownish tint.
"With Sfizio Crock, it is possible to personalize your own genovese focaccia.
White bread flour can be replaced either by durum wheat flour or by whole wheat flour, using the same recipe, or you can choose to replace it with one of our bakery mixes such as Korn Fit, Curcubread, Vitamais, Gran Rustico e Gran Mediterraneo etc, but in this case you have to add just 5g of salt instead of 25g.
