Cheese-Filled Focaccia Recipe

 

Ingredients

 

Makes one (10x15-inch/25x30cm) Focaccia

  • 1 quantity Focaccia Dough

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 6 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

  • 1 cup/250 ml water

  • 1 1/4 cups/300 g Stracchino (or other fresh, creamy) cheese, melted with 1 tablespoon milk

Method:

  1. Prepare the focaccia dough, kneading in 4 tablespoons of oil as you work. Set aside to rise (about 1 hour).

  2. Oil a 10 x 15-inch (25 x 38-cm) baking pan. Divide the dough in two and roll both pieces out to fit the pan.

  3. Place one piece in the pan. Spread with the cheese, leaving a 1/2-inch (1-cm) border around the edges, and cover with the remaining dough. Press down at the edges to seal. Let rise for 30 more minutes.

  4. Preheat the oven to 450°F/220°C/gas 7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve hot.
