Michele's touch: soaked breadcrumbs
In all my savoury recipes I add a little soaked breadcrumb, the «Brösel» (German bakers call it an old-bread soaker). It makes the crumb softer, brings crust flavour and keeps the bread fresh longer. Optional: the recipe works without it, but I always do it.
Dry breadcrumbs

Water

for this recipe, with 1000 g of flour
Use plain breadcrumbs, with no salt or seasoning. Best of all is your own bread from yesterday, dried and grated.

🥖 Phase 1 · Poolish (evening before)
12-16 h at 18-20°C
Phase 2 · Main dough
Procedure
1) POOLISH, the evening before: 300 g flour, 300 g water and 1 g fresh yeast. Mix to a smooth batter, cover and leave 12-16 hours at 18-20 °C. Ready when domed and full of bubbles. 2) POTATO: boil 250 g floury (yellow-fleshed) potatoes with the skin in salted water for 25-30 minutes until tender. Peel and mash them while still warm with a ricer (you need 200 g). Cool below 30 °C: hot, they kill the yeast. 3) DOUGH: put the poolish, 400 g cold water (keep 50 g aside), 700 g flour, 3 g fresh yeast, the malt and (optional) the improver in a bowl or stand mixer. Mix 5 minutes and rest 20 minutes. Add the salt (20 g) and the potato, then the remaining water gradually and finally the oil (40 g), until the dough forms strands. Very soft and sticky: that's right. Final temperature 23-25 °C. 4) FOLDS: 3 sets of folds, one every 30 minutes, with wet hands. The dough gradually becomes smoother and stronger. 5) TRAY: oil two 40×30 cm trays with 30 g extra virgin olive oil each. Divide the dough into two (about 1 kg each) and stretch it with oiled hands, without forcing. If it springs back, rest 15 minutes and continue. 6) FINAL PROOF in the tray: 2-3 hours at 24 °C, covered. Ready when doubled, puffy and full of bubbles, and a finger dent springs back slowly. 7) TOPPING: wet your fingers with oil and dimple the whole surface. Roast the peppers, peel and cut into strips; pat dry well. Spread before baking: roasted peppers and Taggiasca olives. Finish with a drizzle of oil (about 20 g per tray) and flaky salt. 8) BAKING: static oven preheated to 230 °C, lower shelf, for 24 minutes, until the base is crisp and the top golden. Unmould onto a rack and serve lukewarm.
