Focaccia di Recco

🌍 Italian, Liguria (Recco) Difficulty: ●●●○○


Not a true focaccia but two sheets of unleavened dough stretched tissue-thin around a layer of stracchino cheese. The dough must be transparent before filling. Bake at the highest possible heat until the top blisters and the cheese bubbles through any thin spots.

Ingredients

  • 300g flour
  • 300g stracchino or crescenza cheese
  • Water, olive oil, salt

Method

  1. Making — Make very thin dough (no yeast); rest 1 hour.
  2. Stretching — Stretch thin; lay on oiled tin.
  3. Dotting — Dot cheese; cover with second layer stretched even thinner.
  4. Step 4 — Seal edges; drizzle oil; bake 250°C (480°F), 10–12 min.
