  • About

This is Victoria’s sourdough version of schiacciata con l’uva, a Tuscan member of the hearth-bread family that also includes focaccia and fougasse. Recipes often include rosemary, rather than fennel seeds, and may be topped with sugar instead of salt.

Ingredients

  • 500g/1lb 2oz/3½ cups white bread flour

Method

  1. Mix the flour, semolina, starter, salt and water together thoroughly, until all of the ingredients have come together in a sticky mass with no dry bits remaining. Add the olive oil and work it gently into the dough. Place in a lightly oiled bowl, cover and leave to rest for 30 minutes.
  2. Give the dough a single fold, cover and leave to rest for another 30 minutes
