That's original focaccia ?
Not in the real world (ie., outside the USA).
High water to flour rate ? <snort>
Rest overnight in the refrigerator ? <snort>
The only focaccia which resembles the thing in the article would be
the "Focaccia al formaggio" from Liguria.(200 g flour, 100 ml EVOO,
salt and cold water).
"Focaccia sarda" (from Sardinia) has a potato dough.

Focaccia could be translated as pancake.
