Ingredients

1 tablespoon caster sugar
Pinch of salt
165mL soda water
2 tablespoon olive oil, plus 1 tablespoon extra
1 baby cos lettuce, leaves torn
1 Lebanese cucumber, halved and thinly sliced

method
Preheat oven to 220°C (fan-forced). Line a baking tray with baking paper.
Combine flour, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the centre. Pour in soda water and 1 tablespoon oil. Mix with a wooden spoon until a soft, sticky dough forms. Transfer dough to the lined baking tray. Dust clean hands with flour to stop the dough sticking, then press out into a 2cm round. Sprinkle over oregano leaves. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
Meanwhile, combine cos lettuce, cucumber, avocado and half the basil leaves in a medium bowl. Drizzle over white wine vinegar and remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Toss to coat.
Remove focaccia from the oven. Stir tomato passata and garlic together in a small bowl. Spoon over focaccia. Top with remaining half the basil leaves, olives and mozzarella. Return to the oven and bake for 10 minutes or until cheese is melted and golden.
Remove focaccia from the oven, transfer to a chopping board and slice. Serve hot alongside salad.
