The golden, slightly crunchy surface contrasts with a soft bread crumb soft, moist and irregularly honeycombed.

Extra virgin olive oil completes the flavor profile and protects the surface from direct heat. Cooking in baking pan, to very hot oven, allows for a firm base and a still-soft interior. The dimples made before baking retain the oil and give the cake its distinctive appearance.

Add salt and let it rise

90 min

Add the salt toward the end of kneading, distributing it without leaving lumps. Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for about 90 minutes. Continue kneading until the dough has doubled in size and the surface appears puffy.

Chef's Tips

Keep your hands moistened while folding and rolling out, without adding flour: the very hydrated dough will retain a soft bread crumb softer and better alveolation.
