soft, airy focaccia with a cream cheese, blue cheese, prosciutto topping.

Ingredients

topping

  • cream cheese
  • blue cheese
  • prosciutto
  • honey
  • freshly ground black pepper

focaccia

  • 400 g flour
  • 320 g water
  • 1 tsp instant dry yeast
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1 tsp salt
  • olive oil

Directions

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, mix water, honey, yeast and olive oil. Add flour and salt, mix until you get a sticky dough. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Start the stretch and fold method. Repeat twice, letting the dough rest for 30 minutes between each fold.

  3. 3

    Then do one coil fold and let the dough rest for another 30 minutes. Do a final coil fold and place the dough in the fridge overnight.

  4. 4

    The next day, transfer the dough into an oiled baking pan lined with parchment paper. Let it rise until doubled in size (this can take up to 2 hours).

  5. 5

    Drizzle generously with olive oil, press your fingers into the dough to create dimples. Bake at 200°C (390°F) for 20–25 minutes until golden.
