Course Main course
Servings 8 persons

Ingredients
  

  • Prosciutto di San Daniele as needed
  • 400 gr “0” flour
  • 1 sachet of dry brewer’s yeast
  • 210 gr water
  • 30 gr extra virgin olive oil
  • 50 gr grated scamorza cheese
  • 1 smoked scamorza cheese in slices
  • 1 spoonful of sugar
  • 180 gr basil pesto
  • Salt as needed
  • Fresh basil as needed

Instructions
 

  • Place the flour, the dry brewer’s yeast, the sugar and the grated scamorza in a bowl. Mix all the ingredients and then drizzle on the extra virgin oil and add the water and salt.
  • Knead the ingredients some more on a flat surface, working it until it forms a smooth dough. Place it back in the bowl and cover with a cloth.
  • Leave to rest for about 3 hours. Once it has risen, roll it out into a rectangular form, and lightly sprinkle with flour.
  • With a pizza-cutter cut horizontal and vertical slices to form squares.
  • Spread the pesto onto each square using a spoon and add the slices of smoked scamorza cheese. On this pile up the squares of dough to form a little tower.
  • Grease a loaf pan and insert your little tower into it. Place in a conventional oven at 180°C for about 35/40 minutes.
  • Once ready and cooled down, remove gently from the loaf pan and dress with the slices of Prosciutto San Daniele and the basil leaves.
