Focaccia di Recco

Just when you thought you knew everything there is to know about the current craze for focaccia and all its pizzalike variants, along comes focaccia di Recco: a bubbly ooze of tart and fruity stracchino cheese barely contained by 2 supersize rounds of paper-thin dough. To make focaccia di Recco, you take a simple ball of unleavened dough larded with olive oil, divide it in 2, then roll and stretch the doughballs until you can read a newspaper through them. Then you line a pan with one of the dough rounds, top it with scoops of cheese, cover and seal it with the second round of dough like an apple pie, drizzle with more olive oil, sprinkle with sea salt, and bake for ~10 minutes.
