Gather Your Ingredients

Before diving into the recipe, it’s essential to make sure you have all the necessary ingredients at hand. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 2 ½ cups of all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 1 tablespoon of sugar
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons of active dry yeast
  • 1 cup of warm water
  • 4 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 6 slices of prosciutto
  • 8 ounces of mozzarella cheese, sliced
  • Sea salt and dried oregano (optional, for topping)

The Bread-Making Process

Now that you have everything ready, let’s dive into making the focaccia bread:

  1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and sugar.
  2. In a separate small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water, stirring gently. Let it sit for 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
  3. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the yeasty water. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Mix everything together until it forms a sticky dough.
  4. Transfer the dough onto a floured surface. Knead it for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
  6. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and grease a baking sheet.
  7. Punch down the risen dough to release any air bubbles, then transfer it to the greased baking sheet. Use your fingers to press it evenly into a rectangle shape.
  8. Layer the sliced mozzarella and prosciutto evenly on top of the dough. Fold the edges over the filling and pinch them to seal it.
  9. Brush the remaining olive oil over the top of the focaccia. Sprinkle with sea salt and dried oregano for extra flavor, if desired.
  10. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the bread turns golden brown on top.
  11. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
