I love focaccia, especially those with a vegetable filling, because by carefully choosing the right combination of flour and certain vegetables, you always get phenomenal results! When I read recipes that use different cooking methods than usual, I get curious and want to try to recreate them... that's what happened with the "Skillet Focaccia alla Parmigiana" by @cucinareserenamente: I had saved the recipe a long time ago and finally got to experiment with it, much to the satisfaction of those who got to taste it! 😍

Cooking Instructions

1 hour
  1. 1

    In a bowl, combine all the ingredients for the dough and mix quickly with a fork, then knead on a floured work surface until you get a soft and smooth dough ball.

  2. 2

    Cover the dough with a slightly damp cloth and let it rest for about 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    In the meantime, prepare the filling. Wash the eggplant well, remove the stem, and cut it first into thick slices and then into cubes about 1/2 inch in size.

  4. 4

    Wash the red bell pepper, remove the stem, seeds, and inner filaments, and cut it first into strips and then into squares similar in size to the eggplant cubes.

  5. 5

    Peel the white onion and cut it into small wedges.

  6. 6

    Combine all the vegetables in a bowl, season them with extra virgin olive oil, dried oregano, and salt, and mix well.

  7. 7

    Place the vegetables in the basket of an air fryer and cook at 320°F for 20-25 minutes, stirring them after the first 15 minutes of cooking; alternatively, place the vegetables on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for the same time.

  8. 8

    Take the dough, which will have relaxed and become easier to work with, and divide it into two portions, one slightly larger than the other.

  9. 9

    Roll out the larger portion of dough on a floured sheet of parchment paper to form a disk about 1/8 inch thick.

  10. 10

    Spread the roasted vegetables over the dough and sprinkle with fresh basil cut into strips.

  11. 11

    Roll out the second dough disk and use it to cover the vegetable filling, making small holes on the surface with a fork; slightly moisten the remaining free edge and form a decorative cord to enclose the focaccia filling.

  12. 12

    Heat a non-stick skillet and, when it's hot, slide the focaccia into it; cook for 1 minute on high heat, then reduce the heat and continue cooking on medium-low heat for 8-10 minutes.

  13. 13

    Flip the focaccia with the help of a spatula and continue cooking on the other side for another 7-8 minutes.

  14. 14

    Serve the focaccia hot at the table immediately.
