Preparation
- To prepare the soft focaccia with courgette flowers and gorgonzola, place the flour, Lievito Madre ADAM and lukewarm water in a bowl. Mix using a Danish dough whisk or your hands, then add the salt and olive oil.
 - Mix again until you have a smooth, rather soft and sticky dough. Cover and leave to rest for 1 hour.
 - After the first rest, fold the dough without removing it from the bowl: with damp hands or a spatula, stretch one side of the dough upwards and fold it back over the centre.
 - Rotate the bowl 90 degrees and repeat. Continue until you’ve completed the full round of folds. Cover with cling film and let rest for another hour.
 - Repeat the folding process two more times, every hour, covering the dough in between. In total, you should fold the dough 3 times. After the final fold, allow to rest for another hour.
 - Meanwhile, grease the baking tin (approx. 30 cm in diameter) with olive oil and generously dust with semolina.
 - Transfer the dough to the prepared tin, brush with a little olive oil, cover, and allow to rise for a further hour.
 - Before the resting time is over, preheat the oven to 230°C (static mode).
 - Mix the olive oil and water in a glass and pour over the focaccia.
 - Using your fingertips, press from the centre outwards to spread the dough across the entire surface of the tin.
 - Bake for 10 minutes at 230°C.
 - In the meantime, clean the courgette flowers by removing the pistils and trimming the base, then rinse gently and set aside.
 - After the first 10 minutes of baking, remove the focaccia from the oven and top with the courgette flowers and spoonfuls of gorgonzola placed between them.
 - Return to the oven and bake for another 10–15 minutes, until golden brown.
 - Remove from the oven and enjoy your soft focaccia with courgette flowers and gorgonzola warm or cold.
