Gathering Ingredients
Before diving into the recipe, let’s make sure we have all the necessary ingredients to make Crescione:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup warm water
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup fresh arugula
- 1/2 cup sliced cherry tomatoes
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped black olives
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Making the Dough
First, we need to prepare the dough:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt.
- Add warm water gradually while stirring the mixture until it forms a soft dough.
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise for approximately 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Assembling and Cooking
Once the dough has risen, it’s time to assemble the Crescione:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Punch down the dough to release any air bubbles, then divide it into two equal portions.
- Roll out one portion of the dough into a circular shape (about 8 inches in diameter).
- Spread half of the mozzarella cheese, arugula, cherry tomatoes, Parmesan cheese, and black olives on one half of the dough.
- Fold the other half of the dough over the filling, creating a half-moon shape. Seal the edges tightly by pressing with a fork.
- Repeat the same process with the second portion of the dough and remaining filling.
- Place both Crescione on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, brush the tops with olive oil.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
