Focaccia di Recco

Focaccia di Recco is a traditional Italian flatbread from the Ligurian town of Recco, known for its paper-thin, crispy layers. Unlike typical focaccia, it is made with a simple dough of flour, olive oil, and white wine, then filled with a generous layer of creamy, tangy Stracchino cheese before being baked to golden perfection.
