In a large bowl, add 200 mL of lukewarm water.

Add 7 grams of active yeast to the water and stir with a fork to dissolve.

Add 250 grams of strong white flour to the bowl.

Add 9 grams of salt and 12 to 15 grams of sugar to the flour mixture.

Mix all ingredients together until combined.

Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Grease a 1-pound loaf tin with about 1 tablespoon of oil.

Stretch and fold the dough over itself several times, then place it in the greased tin.

Proof the dough in the air fryer at 49 degrees Celsius for 25 minutes.

After the first proof, drizzle 3 to 4 tablespoons of oil over the dough and sprinkle with a generous pinch of salt and peppers.

Wet your hands to prevent sticking and gently knock back the dough.

Proof the dough again in the air fryer for about 10 to 15 minutes.

After the second proof, drizzle a little more oil and sprinkle with salt.

Preheat the air fryer and bake the focaccia at 70 degrees Celsius for 15 minutes.

Once baked, top with pesto while warm and allow to caramelize for a minute or two before serving.
