The Chich\u00ec Ripieno is typical of the town of Offida<\/strong><\/a> in the Ascoli area. It is a very simple stuffed focaccia to make at home, using the bread or pizza dough and spreading it thinly. Very tasty and tasty, it is stuffed with tuna, anchovies, capers and peppers. It is particularly suitable for all snacks or to accompany typical aperitifs and appetizers.
\nThe name “Chich\u00ec”, in the local dialect, means “pizza” and at one time, when women waited for homemade bread, they gave their children “lu chich\u00ec”, a piece of pasta that they themselves would handle to manipulate.
\nEvery year, on the first Sunday of August, from 1968 the Pro Loco of Offida organizes the “Sagra del Chich\u00ec ripieno”, an occasion to taste this particular product.
\nLet’s see what we need to prepare it.<\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/h3>\n

For the focaccia<\/em><\/strong>
\n700 gr of 00 flour
\n300 ml of water
\n10 gr of brewer’s yeast
\nextra virgin olive oil
\na tablespoon of malt
\nsalt
\nFor the stuffing<\/em><\/strong>
\n200 grams of peppers in oil
\n5 anchovy fillets
\n10 capers
\n150 grams of green olives
\n150 gr of artichokes in oil
\n200 grams of tuna<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Process<\/h3>\n

Mix the ingredients for the focaccia in a large container and let it rise for about an hour until doubled. Then divide the dough into 2 pieces. We spread a part of the dough on the bottom of a baking pan and pour the finely chopped stuffing ingredients with a mixer. With the remaining dough we cover the focaccia, sealing the 2 parts together to prevent the ingredients from escaping during cooking. We prick the surface with a fork and spennelliamola with olive oil. Cook it in a hot oven for about 30 minutes at a temperature of 220\u00b0, until the surface is perfectly golden.
\nDelicious both hot fresh from the oven and cold as an aperitif.<\/p>\n

Enjoy your meal!
