Creating Mini Focaccia is a delightful process when you follow these simple steps:

1. Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt.
3. Combine Mixtures: Once the yeast is activated, pour it into the flour mixture along with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.
4. Knead the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
5. First Rise: Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes, or until it doubles in size.
6. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) while the dough is rising.
7. Shape the Dough: Once risen, punch down the dough and turn it onto a floured surface. Divide it into smaller pieces (about 10-12) and shape them into mini rounds or squares.
8. Second Rise: Place the shaped dough on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover with a cloth and let them rise for another 15 minutes.
9. Prepare for Baking: Using your fingers, create dimples in the dough. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with coarse sea salt, and add your choice of fresh herbs and optional toppings.
10. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
11. Cool: Remove from the oven and let the Mini Focaccia cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.

By following these steps, you’ll create delicious Mini Focaccia that will be the highlight of your meal!
