Preparation

Step 1

First, sift the flour into a large bowl (or stand mixer with dough hooks attached) and add the yeast, sugar and salt. Don’t put the salt directly onto the yeast as it can kill it. Then give it a quick mix. Add in the warm water and mix together until a dough forms. Knead on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes until the dough is soft and pliable.

If you are using a stand mixer – mix on low until a dough forms then increase the speed to medium/high and mix for about 4-5 minutes until the dough is soft and pliable.

Place the dough into a large, lightly oiled bowl, cover with either cling film or a damp tea towel then leave to prove for about an hour in a draft free place.

preheat your oven to 220°C/Fan 200°C.

Now you know how wide the filling is – make equal markings down both sides. These will make the lattice strands.

Pop into the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes. Turn halfway to get an even bake. It is ready when the dough is crispy & golden and the cheese has melted.

This is now probably one of my favourite recipes! It’s simple to make, absolutely delicious and always goes down well with friends/family. AND you can always change it up by messing with the fillings. Maybe try a bit of chorizo, some slices of fresh tomato or even sliced cooked sausages! You could really play about with this recipe – it’s so versatile!
