Ingredients

  • 1 (1/2-pound) Yukon Gold potato, peeled and quartered

  • 1 cup warm water (105-115°F)

  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar

  • 3 teaspoons active dry yeast (from two 1/4-ounce packages)

  • 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided

  • 4 1/4 cups "00" flour, divided

  • 1 tablespoon plus 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt, divided

  • 1/2 pound plum tomatoes, thinly sliced crosswise

  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano

  • Equipment: a stand mixer with paddle and dough-hook attachments

Instructions

1

Instruction 1

Generously cover potato with salted cold water (1 teaspoon salt for 3 cups water) in a small heavy saucepan and simmer, uncovered, until just tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain and cool slightly, then mash until smooth.
2

Instruction 2

Stir together warm water and sugar in bowl of mixer. Sprinkle yeast over mixture and let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. (If mixture doesn't foam, start over with new yeast.)
3

Instruction 3

Add potato and 1/4 cup oil to yeast and beat with paddle attachment at medium speed until combined, about 2 minutes. Remove paddle attachment and attach dough hook, then beat in 4 cups flour and 1 tablespoon sea salt at medium-high speed until combined well, about 3 minutes. (Dough will be very soft and sticky.)
4

Instruction 4

Transfer to a well-floured surface and knead in remaining 1/4 cup flour with lightly floured hands until smooth and elastic, 8 to 10 minutes. (Dough will still be very soft and sticky.)
5

Instruction 5

Scrape dough into a lightly oiled large bowl and cover bowl with oiled plastic wrap. Let dough rise in a draft-free place at warm room temperature until doubled, 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Generously oil a 15- by 10- by 1-inch baking pan.
6

Instruction 6

Punch down dough (do not knead) and transfer to baking pan, then gently stretch to cover as much of bottom as possible (dough may not fit exactly).
7

Instruction 7

Cover dough with oiled plastic wrap and a kitchen towel and let rise in a draft-free place at warm room temperature until doubled, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
8

Instruction 8

Preheat oven to 425°F with rack in lower third.
9

Instruction 9

Arrange tomatoes on focaccia (do not overlap), then sprinkle with oregano and remaining 1/4 teaspoon sea salt and drizzle with remaining 1/4 cup oil.
10

Instruction 10

Bake until center is firm, top is pale golden, and underside is golden (lift to check), 20 to 25 minutes.
11
