Method
Dough Preparation
Make the Dough
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add the water and olive oil, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for about 5-10 minutes until smooth.
Rest the Dough
Cover the dough with a clean cloth and let it rest for at least 30 minutes at room temperature.
Assembly and Baking
Prepare the Filling
Divide the rested dough into two equal pieces. Roll out the first piece into a thin rectangle on a floured surface.
Add Cheese
Spread the stracchino cheese evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Top with Second Dough Layer
Roll out the second piece of dough and place it over the cheese. Press the edges to seal well.
Prepare for Baking
Transfer the focaccia to a greased baking sheet. Poke holes in the top with your fingertips, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with sea salt and rosemary if desired.
Bake
Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C) and bake for about 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
Cool and Serve
Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, then cut into squares and serve warm.
