Schiacciata Recipe

Ingredients:

500gr flour

1 tsp instant yeast

1tsp salt

340gr water

25ml EVOO

Method:

Mix the dough ingredients on stand mixer for 10 minutes

Let rise for two hours or until doubled in size

Punch it down and transfer to an oiled surface

Shape into a ball and then flatten it as much as possible, by pressing it down

With your fingers start pushing the dough to shape into a rectangle

Transfer to an oiled baking pan, cover with a towel and let proof for 20 minutes (not more because we want our Schiacciata to be flat with cripsy edges)

Preheat oven to 210C.

Before baking, sprinkle olive oil on the dough

Using your fingers start pressing the dough deep-down and in different places to create dimples

Bake until deep golden brown, about 25–30 minutes.

While the bread is still hot, brush it with EVOO and sprinkle sea salt.

Let cool for at least an hour.

Slice and enjoy!
