Ham & mozzarella focaccia

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Cakes and Desserts
This version of focaccia is almost a pizza, but the thickness and softness of the dough retain the bread character. Ham and mozzarella are not just toppings but settle into the dough, so every bite offers crisp crust, soft crumb and juicy toppings at once. Ideal picnic food or substantial snack.

Instructions

1 ✓

Bloom the yeast in sugary, warm water for 10 minutes.

Tip: If it doesn't foam, yeast is no longer active, start again with fresh.
2 ✓

Knead flour, salt, half the oil and yeasted water into a smooth dough.

Tip: Kneading makes dough elastic (strengthening gluten structure).
3 ✓

Prove for 1 hour in a warm place.

Tip: Best in a draught-free place, covered.
4 ✓

Roll out dough into tray. Scatter torn ham and mozzarella on top, pressing them deep into the dough.

Tip: If you don't press them in, toppings may burn before dough bakes.
5 ✓

Drizzle with oil, rest for 15 minutes, then bake at 200°C for 20-25 minutes.

Tip: During second rest, dough rises again around toppings.

Recipe FAQ

What ham should I use?
Preferably cured ham (e.g. Parma or Serrano) for deeper flavour, but good quality cooked ham works too.
Doesn't mozzarella make the dough soggy?
It is worth draining mozzarella and drying with kitchen paper before use.
