Ham and Cheese Skillet Focaccia

December 7, 2016 By Manu Leave a Comment

Ham and Cheese Skillet Focaccia

I love focaccia, but I don’t make it often as the real Focaccia Genovese requires a few hours of resting time and I don’t always have it. I have recently shared with you the recipe for a potato based focaccia which takes a lot less time to make and today I will show you how to make an “instant focaccia”. Yes, you read that right. This Ham and Cheese Skillet Focaccia does comes together in a matter of minutes, as it does not require yeast. It’s not a fluffy “bread”, but because it’s filled with ham and cheese, it stays soft all the same. It makes for a quick lunch or midweek dinner idea that the whole family will love. I use durum wheat flour (the same we use to make regular pasta in Italy) for this recipe, as I like the final consistency more. If you cannot find it, use pizza or bread flour. Buon appetito!
