In this cooking video Uncle Scott shows how to make schiacciata, which is a Tuscan flatbread similar to Italian focaccia. This authentic schiacciata recipe utilizes a no-knead dough with an ingredient and technique most people don’t know about. Our secret ingredient for the real-deal schiacciata found around Florence, Italy is to incorporate boiled potatoes in the dough. The ingredient list is below, and enjoy the video as Uncle Scott demonstrates the correct technique for how to make Italian flatbread.

I'm on a dedicated low carb diet, but I gotta smell the roses, too, so if I'm going to treat myself to some carbs it's got to be something special like this. It would be great with some prosciutto and cheeses plus olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
I remember this bread from when I did a one-on-one total immersion Italian class in Florence.
Picky person here. Don't pronounce the first "I."
Non stick sheet?
Tell me you were joking!
Yummy recipe but… non stick?
Yea, I do have one but that’s ancient. Don’t like using it.
I spent an Easter Sunday with a family in Florence a number of years ago. Schiacciata was served along with agnello (lamb) and a whole lot of other culinary delights. Thanks for the recipe. Perhaps I will make this for my family this upcoming Easter.
What about adding potato starch to the dry ingredients instead of cooked potatoes?
wow!
Edit: My mistake– you did say no knead…
Let the no rise dough rise… you thought we wouldn’t notice that. Looks tasty though. 🍳
Hi, Uncle Scott… looks delicious!
Off subject, just got a new carbon steel flat-bottom wok from Oxenforge. It's hand-forged and beautifully made from one piece. Paired it with a concave Abangdun induction burner and the pair cooks fantastic. Wanted to pass it on.
I ate this in Prato and loved it. Can’t wait to make it. Thanks
What do you think would happen if i used a sweet potato instead?
Holoy Cow my Daughter is gonna LOVE making this, looks delicious!
This looks amazing – Thanks- Cheers!
These videos are so much better without the annoying ‘Studio applause’
