Dough

Method

Dough Preparation

1

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.

2

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

3

Prepare the Filling

Divide the rested dough into two equal pieces. Roll out the first piece into a thin rectangle on a floured surface.

4

Add Cheese

Spread the stracchino cheese evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

5

Top with Second Dough Layer

Roll out the second piece of dough and place it over the cheese. Press the edges to seal well.

6

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.

7

Bake

Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C) and bake for about 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

8

Cool and Serve

Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, then cut into squares and serve warm.
