Ingredients

  • 300g all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
  • 180ml warm water
  • 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, plus extra for brushing
  • 1 tsp fine sea salt
  • 300g stracchino cheese (or crescenza cheese)
  • Flaky sea salt for finishing
  • Fresh rosemary leaves, optional garnish

Instructions

1

Combine flour and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the center and add warm water and 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.

2

Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Wrap in plastic wrap and rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.

3

Preheat oven to 250°C (480°F) or the highest setting. Place a large baking sheet inside to heat.

4

Divide dough into two equal portions. On a well-floured surface, roll each portion paper-thin (almost translucent) into rectangles roughly 30x40cm.

5

Remove hot baking sheet from oven and brush generously with olive oil. Carefully transfer one dough sheet onto the pan.

6

Tear stracchino cheese into small pieces and distribute evenly over the dough, leaving a 1cm border around edges.

7

Drape the second dough sheet over the cheese filling. Press edges firmly to seal, then pinch and crimp decoratively. Poke several holes in the top with a fork.

8

Brush the top generously with remaining olive oil and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.

9

Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and blistered in spots, rotating halfway through for even cooking.

10

Remove from oven and let cool for 2 minutes. Cut into squares or wedges, garnish with fresh rosemary if desired, and serve immediately while cheese is still molten.
