Cheeses

Salumi

House-Made Bread

Method

Cheeses Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Cheeses

    Select and arrange the three types of artisanal cheeses on a serving platter.

Salumi Preparation

  1. 2

    Prepare Salumi

    Slice the prosciutto, salami, and capicola into thin pieces and arrange them next to the cheeses on the platter.

House-Made Bread Preparation

  1. 3

    Make the Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and yeast. Gradually add warm water and olive oil, mixing until a dough forms.

  2. 4

    Knead the Dough

    Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

  3. 5

    First Rise

    Place the kneaded dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

  4. 6

    Shape the Bread

    After the first rise, gently punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf or divide it into smaller rolls.

  5. 7

    Second Rise

    Place the shaped dough on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, cover, and let it rise again for 30 minutes.

  6. 8

    Bake the Bread

    Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F). Bake the bread for about 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped.

  7. 9

    Cool the Bread

    Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing.
