The sandwiches with pecorino and bacon are soft, savory clouds and very tasty! They are excellent on their own or as an accompaniment to cold cuts, cheeses, meats, and vegetables. They are at their best if you fill them and heat them in the oven for 2 minutes before serving! They are also a great base for a delicious hamburger!

Preparation of sandwiches with pecorino and bacon
In a bowl, pour the flour, pepper, and salt, and mix quickly.
Now add the oil, the water with the sugar and dissolved yeast, and start kneading with a spoon.
When the dough begins to come together, transfer it to the work surface, spread it out, and add the bacon cubes and grated pecorino.
Now start kneading and folding for about 15 minutes, or until you get a smooth and soft dough with perfectly incorporated ingredients.
Place the dough in the bowl with plastic wrap and in a closed place without drafts (the turned-off oven works great).
For 3 times, every 30 minutes, fold the dough, then after the last folding, cover with plastic wrap (or use an airtight container) and place the dough in the fridge (I knead the dough in the evening after dinner).
If you knead the dough in the evening after dinner, proceed as follows: the next morning, take the dough out of the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for 1 hour.
Then divide the dough into 10 equal parts and close them by folding and giving them a round shape.
Place the sandwiches to rise (on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper) in the turned-off and closed oven for about 4 hours.
When they have more than doubled, take them out of the oven, heat it to 482°F, and once it reaches the temperature, bake the sandwiches for 20 minutes. Be sure to always check the cooking because each oven is different!
Take them out of the oven and serve them. They are excellent both hot and cold. Enjoy your sandwiches with pecorino and bacon!
Oven: I use an electric oven in static mode.
