Preparation of Focaccia Stuffed with Ham and Cheese with Thermomix

1. Let’s start preparing the dough. In the Thermomix glass, pour the milk, yeast (you can use 10 g of fresh yeast) and sugar.
2. Program the Thermomix at a temperature of 37 degrees and speed 2 for 2 minutes.
3. Kneading the DoughNext, add the flour, oil, egg and salt to the Thermomix glass.
4. Set the machine on spike speed for 4 minutes, making sure all the ingredients are mixed well and the dough is smooth and elastic.
5. Transfer the dough to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let the dough rest and rise in the oven off with the light on for 2 to 3 hours, until it doubles in size.
6. Once the dough has risen, divide it into two equal parts. Spread the first dough on a tray previously lined with baking paper. Place the cooked ham, mozzarella and edam cheese on top.
7. Cover the first layer with the remaining dough, sealing the edges well to prevent the filling from escaping during baking.
8. Using the blade of a knife, make cuts on the surface of the focaccia to create decorative lines. Fill the slots with Emmental cheese and brush the surface with beaten egg and a splash of milk.
9. Let the filled focaccia sit at room temperature for 30 minutes so the dough can rise slightly again. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius on static heat.
10. Then, bake the focaccia for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
