Recipe Card
ingredients
- 4 cups strong bread flour
- 1 3/4 teaspoons sea salt
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 6 grams fresh yeast
- 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- a few sprigs of fresh rosemary
- pinch of flaky sea salt
Method
Step 1
Combine the flour and salt in a large bowl, mix with your hand and then make a well in the center.
Step 2
Put the water and yeast in another bowl and mix until dissolved, pour this into the well in the flour.
Step 3
Using your hand (shaped like a fork) gently bring the dough together until it is a rough clump with no dry flour patches. Scrape the dough off your hands and out of the bowl onto a work surface (lightly floured if you wish).
Step 4
With the heal of your hand at the bottom of the dough, push your hand upwards along the surface (pushing the dough into the work surface), stretching and tearing as you go. When you can no longer stretch the dough, fold it back on itself, you may need to use a dough scraper to gather the rest. Repeat for 8-10 minutes.
Step 5
Pour 40g of the oil into the bottom of a large bowl and place the dough in the center. Spread the oil on top of the dough and then give it one fold. Cover with a tea towel and leave to rest in a warm place for 30 minutes. Repeat the folding process and leave to rest for 30 minutes again. Repeat this twice more and then refrigerate for 10 minutes.
Step 6
Preheat the oven to 430°F and lightly oil a 8x12in. baking tray. Slide the dough onto the baking tray, fold it in half lengthways and gently dimple the top, spreading the dough out in the tray.
Step 7
Add your toppings (not the flaky salt yet) and leave to rest again for 30 minutes until puffy.
Step 8
Bake in your preheated oven for 15 minutes until crispy and golden, sprinkle with flaky salt (add a little extra oil if desired) and serve!
