Description

Rustic focaccia hiding a molten Gruyère–Fontina fondue center for the ultimate cheesy pull.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 packet active dry yeast
  • 1 1/4 cups warm water
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 cup shredded Gruyère cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Fontina cheese
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp rosemary (chopped)
  • Coarse sea salt (for topping)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. In a bowl, mix flour, salt, sugar, and yeast. Gradually add warm water and olive oil, kneading until a smooth dough forms. Let rise for 1 hour.
  2. In a saucepan, melt Gruyère and Fontina with heavy cream and garlic powder over low heat, stirring until smooth. Let cool slightly.
  3. Divide dough into two equal parts. Roll out one part into a circle and place on a baking sheet. Spread cheese fondue in the center, leaving a border.
  4. Roll out the second dough part and place over the cheese. Seal edges tightly. Brush with olive oil, sprinkle rosemary and sea salt.
  5. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25-30 minutes until golden. Let rest 5 minutes before slicing.
