Focaccia flower


   We were thinking about different names for this recipe and we decided to call it "Focaccia flower". We thought about other options... like flower of bread, bread flower, flower pizza... 

    Ale, our younger brother likes having focaccia for dinner when he has some friends around, so we decided to give him a different one today. 

    The technique is quite similar to that one used in the apple roses, that we shared not that long ago. 



So this is the recipe:

  •  Bread ingredients:
600 g of strong flour
300 ml of water
40 g of yeast
2 teaspoons of salt
a pinch of sugar
and a tablespoon of olive oil 


  • Filling:
Spanish Chorizo
Havarti Cheese
Fresh basil leaves

     Bread is clearly a soft spot for us, so we expect to upload lots of bread recipes. If you knead by hand start doing a "volcano" with the flour and the salt. Then, add the sugar and the cold water with the diluted yeast and the oil, until everything is merged. And then just knead until everything is smooth. For this recipe you won't need to knead long. Leave it resting covered for some minutes and cut into 10 pieces. 

     Use the rolling pin to stretch them and form the flower alternating dough, chorizo and cheese. Then you have to wait until it gets bigger, paint with some oil and bake at 185 °C for 25 minutes. 

     You can use thousands of focaccia recipes with so many fillings, both sweet and savoury. We hope you try to make it!
