And dont overbake this one; you want it to stay light and soft inside.
Liberally oil the base of a large, shallow baking pan, about 9 by 13 inches.
Drizzle with lots of olive oil and make firm indentations all over the surface with your fingers.
Put the pan into a roomy freezer bag and leave to proof for 1 1/2 hours.
Cut the onion into slim wedges and distribute these over the dough, pushing them in too.
Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and press them evenly into the dough.
Drizzle with more olive oil and sprinkle with the dried oregano and a generous amount of flaky sea salt.
Heat your oven to 450F.
Bake the focaccia for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
As you take the focaccia from the oven, drizzle more olive oil over the surface.
Transfer to a wire rack and leave to cool.
