Start by preparing the starter: dissolve the yeast in warm milk, add a tablespoon of flour to obtain a soft dough and leave it to rise.

Meanwhile, mix RiCcotta la Gustosa with the Parmesan, Pecorino and egg, season with salt and add a drizzle of oil. Then add the flour and start kneading by hand.

Add the starter dough you set aside to the RiCcotta dough, add a little milk to obtain a soft, smooth dough, pour it into a greased baking tin and leave it to rise for one hour.

Bake at 200°C for half an hour and, once out of the oven, fill it as desired.
