Mix the starter and the water together in a bowl.

(use cooking paper!)
Gently spread the dough in the tray and let it rest 30minutes.
Then repeat the spreading and let it rest 1 hour for the final proofing.
Mix together 3g of salt and 50g of water.
Pour some olive oil on the dough and rub it all over gently.
Using your finger poke the dough to create holes all over the surface.
Finally garnish the dough and pour the water/salt mix over it.

Notes
- tried to put more sourdough (160g), turned out good
- mix of flour 2/3 manitoba 1/3 integrale
- dont pour too much olive oil on top (2 spoons) but pour the full water / salt mix.
- divide all by 2 for a smaller focaccia
- use gluten free bread flour for a gluten free focaccia (no folds, 3 to 4 hours levitation)
- can be cook in a pirex dish with baking paper on the bottom and no cover
