Step-by-step instructions
Preparing the confit tomatoes
Wash the tomatoes, cut them in half and arrange them cut-side up on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Season with salt, pepper, a pinch of brown sugar to create a lovely caramelization on each half, and a generous drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Bake at 140°C for about 60-90 minutes, until dehydrated and lightly caramelized.
Topping the Focacciotto
Take the base of the Focacciotto Alimenta and evenly distribute the prepared confit tomatoes over the surface. Add the pitted Taggiasca olives, well-drained of their oil. Finish by sprinkling with fresh rosemary needles and a light handful of coarse salt grains for a crunchy touch.
Final baking
Drizzle the surface with a final touch of raw olive oil. Preheat the oven to 200°C (fan) and bake the Focacciotto Alimenta directly on the rack or on a baking tray for 5-7 minutes. Remove when the base is crispy and the inside is soft. Cut into wedges and serve piping hot.
