Ham and Mozzarella Stuffed Focaccia

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Dishes Cakes and Desserts
This version of focaccia is almost pizza, but the thickness and softness of the dough retain the bread character. Ham and mozzarella aren't just toppings but blend into the dough, so every bite offers crispy crust, soft crumb, and juicy toppings simultaneously. Ideal picnic food or substantial snack.

Instructions

1 ✓

Proof yeast in sugary, warm water for 10 minutes.

Tip: If it doesn't foam, yeast is no longer active, start over with fresh.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

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

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

Rise for 1 hour in a warm place.

Tip: Draft-free place, covered is best.
4 ✓

Roll out dough into baking sheet. Scatter torn ham and mozzarella, press them deep into dough.

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

Drizzle with oil, rest for 15 minutes, then bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes.

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

Recipe FAQ

What kind of ham should I use?
Preferably cured ham (e.g., Prosciutto or Serrano) for deeper flavor, but good quality cooked ham works too.
Won't mozzarella soak the dough?
It's worth draining mozzarella and drying with paper towels before use.
