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 grated Gruyère cheese
  • 1 cup grated Fontina cheese
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 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. Cover and let rise for 1 hour.
  2. In a saucepan, heat heavy cream over low heat. Stir in Gruyère and Fontina until melted into a smooth fondue. Let cool slightly.
  3. Divide dough into two portions. Roll out one portion into a flat circle and place on a baking sheet. Spread the cheese fondue in the center, leaving a border.
  4. Roll out the second dough portion and place over the cheese, sealing the edges tightly. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with rosemary and sea salt.
  5. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25-30 minutes until golden. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing to reveal the molten center.
