Preparation Steps
1
First, prepare the yeast: in a bowl, combine the warm water and sugar, then crumble in the yeast. Let it stand for 10 minutes, until foamy.
2
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Once the yeast is foamy, add the olive oil and pour it into the flour mixture. Mix to combine, then knead until a smooth dough forms.
3
Cover the dough and let it rest for 1 hour to rise. The ideal temperature is around 77°F (25°C).
4
When the dough has risen, turn it out onto a floured surface and gently stretch it into a rectangular shape.
5
Peel and mince the garlic. Grate the smoked cheese, then sprinkle it over the stretched dough.
6
Fold the edges of the dough up slightly, then gently press the grated smoked cheese and minced garlic into the dough. Brush the top with olive oil.
7
Let the dough rest for another 15 minutes, then bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, until the top is golden brown.
8
Once done, let it cool slightly, then slice and serve fresh.
