Continuing to mix, add the olive oil and salt, until it forms a dough slightly firmer than a batter. Cover it with cling film and let it rise in a warm place for at least 2 hours.

On a cutting board we cut our cauliflower well (I used the purple one but whatever you prefer is fine) divide all the florets. Let’s wash it well underwater.

After the resting time of our dough, take a 26cm pan, oil it well and pour it inside. With our hands slightly wet with water, we crush our focaccia well. Let it rise for another 30 minutes. Once well leavened, fill it with the first layer of sliced ​​potatoes.

We also pour our cauliflower, now cooked.

Add the diced mozzarella, a drizzle of oil and a little salt. We bake our focaccia at 180 ° for 40-45 minutes in a ventilated oven, 190 ° in a static oven. Once ready, take it out of the oven and let it cool well.

Our focaccia will be very tall and super soft!
