HOMEMADE ROMAN WHITE PIZZA, simple and tasty recipe, typical recipe of sliced pizzas with salt, soft and crispy on top.
I went crazy for the Roman focaccia, the white pizza or with potatoes, with coarse salt, rosemary, a real treat, I ate it many times when I lived in Rome.
The recipe for Roman focaccia taken here is quite similar to Genoese focaccia or Tuscan focaccia in appearance but not in preparation, this one is a bit simpler.
I thought of making this delicious Roman focaccia at home, of course always better from the bakery, but homemade is equally good, soft, and flavorful.
Quick to make with the robot, a bit less by hand for the folds, of course, there is also a rising to take into account.
Follow me in the kitchen today there’s Roman focaccia!
- Difficulty: Easy
- Cost: Very inexpensive
- Rest time: 3 Hours
- Preparation time: 1 Hour
- Portions: 1 baking sheet
- Cooking methods: Oven
- Cuisine: Italian
Ingredients
- 4 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 oz Fresh yeast (or 3.5 oz sourdough starter)
- 0.85 cups Water (about)
- 1 tsp Honey
- 1 tbsp Lard
- 1 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp Salt
- to taste Coarse salt
Preparation
Dissolve the yeast in water and pour it into the stand mixer or a bowl if working by hand.
Add half of the flour and honey, work with the K-beater to mix the dough then add the other flour, oil, and lard, or only oil and salt.
Remove the beater and replace with the hook, work for about ten minutes until the dough detaches from the bowl, add a bit of flour if needed.
If proceeding by hand, mix the dough with a spoon then add the remaining flour, always mixing with the fork until it is no longer possible.
Move to the work surface and finish working the dough by hand for about ten minutes, doing folds and resting for 15 minutes, 3 times.
Do a round of folds if you have finished working with the robot, form a rectangle, bring the short side towards the center, and cover with the other half of the dough.
Let it rest in a bowl covered with plastic wrap until doubled, if using sourdough overnight is fine in the fridge, in the case of fresh yeast 2-3 hours.
Strong flour requires more work and is perfect for being stored in the fridge for rising, unlike weak flours that can rise at room temperature.
After the time, in the case of sourdough, take the dough out of the fridge, do a round of folds, and let it rest for 2 hours.
At this point, when the dough has risen, spread it on the greased tray to facilitate the spreading, if it shrinks wait and resume until the dough spreads easily.
I had no difficulty, I spread it without problems, anyway oil your fingers as well as it is much easier and make holes with your fingers.
Oil the surface, sprinkle with coarse salt, and preheat the oven to 482°F for 30 minutes.
Bake and cook for 10-15 minutes then turn on the grill and cook another 5 minutes to brown it.
Bon appétit
