It's not a recovery technique.

The recovery technique is to hold 7.5 degrees of pitch and hit the TOGA button.

The touch and go exercise just gives pilots more time in the backside of the flare, to develop muscle memory for that last crucial few seconds. We learn by doing - and this gives pilots more time very close to the ground.
