Step 2:

Add the remainder of the water in small parts until it's all absorbed.
Step 4:
Add the olive oil and salt. Mix until the dough is smooth.
Step 5:
Let the dough rest at room temperature for 10 minutes. After this time, mix again to tighten the gluten.
Step 6:
Cover it and let it bulk ferment for 12 hours or overnight in the refrigerator (or leave it at room temperature for 2-3 hours).

Zucchini e cotto
Step 12:
Peel your zucchini into thin slices. Marinade with olive oil, sea salt, black pepper and fresh mint leaves.
Step 13:
Stretch out your dough ball, so that its long and thin, in the style of a focaccia. Drizzle over some olive oil and poke some holes in the base to allow airflow through the dough.
Step 14:
Add the zucchini to the base and then bake in the your Gozney pizza oven at 350°c/750°F. Once cripsy and cooked, remove.
