Flatbread Stuffed with Cheese and Prosciutto (Torta al Testo )

Ingredients for Flatbread Stuffed with Cheese and Prosciutto (Torta al Testo )

• 5g fresh (cake) yeast or 15ml active dry yeast

• 160ml warm water (105-46°C), divided

• 250g unbleached strong flour (about 220g plus 2 tablespoons )

• 3/4 teaspoons salt

• 1/2 tablespoons olive oil

• 110g thinly sliced Italian Fontina, Gruyère, or Emmental cheese

• 2 tazze di rucola

• 6 thin prosciutto slices

Stir together yeast and 80ml warm water in a small bowl and let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. (If mixture doesn't foam, start over with new yeast.)

Stir together flour and salt with a fork in a large bowl. Make a well in centre and add yeast mixture and oil. Stir in flour, then stir in as much of remaining 80ml water as needed to form a firm, moist dough.

Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth, shiny, and elastic, about 10 minutes.

Put dough in cleaned large bowl and cover bowl. Let rise in a draft-free place at warm room temperature until doubled, about 1 hour.

Punch down dough and divide into 2 pieces. Form each piece into a ball and let stand, covered, 10 minutes.

Roll out each ball on a lightly floured surface with a rolling pin into an 8-inch round (about 1/4 inch thick; if dough resists rolling out, let stand 1 to 2 minutes, then continue).

Preheat oven to 400F with rack in middle.

Heat a heavy medium skillet or griddle over medium-low heat until very hot, about 10 minutes. Cook rounds 1 at a time, flipping frequently to avoid scorching and to aid even cooking, until golden, about 6 minutes per round. Stack rounds and wrap in a kitchen towel (not terry cloth) to keep soft while cooling.

When rounds are cool, separate into halves by cutting into bread all around edge and gently pulling rounds apart. Sandwich cheese, rocket, prosciutto, and salt and pepper to taste between halves.

Put stuffed breads on a baking sheet and bake until crisp and cheese has melted, about 8 minutes. Cut into wedges and serve warm.
