Schiacciata is a delicious Tuscan dish that is popular with locals and tourists alike. This traditional flat bread has a long history and is often served as a starter, side dish or as a tasty snack.
First, pour the lukewarm water into a container, crumble in the fresh yeast and dissolve completely.
300 ml water, 8 g fresh yeast
Place the flour and sugar in the bowl of the stand mixer. Fit the machine with the beater hook and run on speed 1.
500 g pastry flour, 5 g sugar
Now pour in the yeast water little by little. Then add the olive oil and continue to knead.
45 g olive oil extra virgin
Once the dough has reached a nice smooth and firm consistency, add the salt and knead for another 5 minutes.
10 g salt
Then place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with a tea towel. Then let it rise in a warm place for at least 4 hours. Stretch and fold the dough every hour during the rising time.
Grease a baking tray and place the dough on it. Now flatten the dough with your fingertips and pull it apart until it is spread over the entire surface. To prevent the dough from sticking to your fingers, it helps to rub them with a little olive oil.
Now cover the dough with foil and let it rest for another hour.
Then remove the foil and work small depressions into the dough with your fingertips. Again, grease the fingers with a little olive oil.
Now drizzle everything with olive oil and spread the coarse sea salt over the entire surface of the dough.
Put the tray in the static oven preheated to 250°C/480°F on the lowest rack and bake for 10 minutes. Then switch to the middle rack and bake for about 15 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the oven, let cool briefly and enjoy immediately.Buon appetito!
