description
Or cecina, or farinata, or as they say in Livorno 5 and 5. An ancient dish that like most poor dishes requires only a few ingredients and a simple preparation. That of Livorno must be absolutely low, soft inside and with the crispy crust on top. It must be eaten very hot, boiling with a generous sprinkling of pepper on it, perhaps in the francesino or a schiacciaina, tonight I am satisfied with a slice of my bread ...
preparation
step 1
In a bowl pour all the flour. Gradually add water and mix by hand with a whisk to dissolve all the lumps.
step 2
Also add oil and salt. Cover the bowl and let it rest at room temperature for at least 3/4 hours, turning occasionally with a whisk.
step 3
After the rest time, remove the foam that has formed on the surface. Switch the oven on at maximum temperature.
step 4
Generously grease a low pan and pour the batter at a height that should not exceed one centimeter. Cook for 15/20 minutes, until the crust has formed on the surface.
step 5
Serve it hot with a sprinkling of pepper on top.
