About

This is my interpretation of a Sardinian focaccia that I found particularly good and well suited as a morsel to pass at a party. The pancetta should be chopped into about ⅜-inch cubes. Pecorino pepato cheese is a young pecorino cheese with peppercorns thrown into the curd. It can usually be found in Italian markets.
