No-knead Focaccia Shallot Pissaladière

I have taken my easy no-knead focaccia recipe and added a shallot pissaladière topping which is so delicious. The shallots soften in olive oil, anchovies, garlic and thyme to form a delectable layer for the bread. This is a high-hydration focaccia bread that is a mix-and-leave situation. All the bubbles develop during an overnight rest in the fridge.

Ingredients:

• 500 grams white bread flour 4 cups
• 8 grams instant yeast 2 tsp
• 1 ¾ tsp salt
• 500 ml lukewarm water 2 cups
• 1 tsp honey or brown sugar
• 1 tbsp butter
• 2 – 3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil + a few more for coating and drizzling on top

• 1 kg Dutoit Agri shallots peeled and thinly sliced
• 60 ml extra virgin olive oil 1/4 cup
• 4 garlic cloves crushed
• 1 Tbsp fresh thyme leaves
• 20 anchovies in oil divided
• 18 calamata olives
