In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt and mix well.
2
Slowly add the water and mix with your hands, breaking up any lumps.

When the dough is smooth (it should be almost runny), cover it with a towel, wrap the bowl in a warm blanket, and let the dough rise in a warm spot for at least 1 1/2 hours.

The dough should double in size and have bubbles at the end of the rising.

6
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400F (200C).
7
Generously brush the bottom and sides of a large baking pan with olive oil, leaving no dry spots.

Spoon the focaccia dough into the pan and spread evenly.
9
Spread the canned tomatoes on the surface of the dough and sprinkle with oregano and capers (and olives, if desired).

Sprinkle with sea salt and drizzle with a little olive oil.
