Ingredients
Dough
- 2 cups plain flour
- 1.5 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon white sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup warm water
Topping
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 teaspoons rock salt
- olive oil
Instructions
- Add all dough ingredients into a bowl. With a wooden spoon, mx together to combine. Roughly shape dough into a ball at bottom of the bowl. Put a tea towel on top and leave the bowl in a warm area for 1hr, or until the dough has risen.
- Grease a square 25x25cm oven-safe dish with olive oil. Make sure you grease up the sides. Depending on your dish, this may be enough, or line with baking paper if required. Add the dough and shape it into the square dish. Put a tea towel on top and leave it in a warm area for 30min, or until the dough has risen.
- Dimple the dough with your fingertips. Sprinkle evenly around the rosemary and rock salt. Drizzle olive oil all over the top (about 2 tablespoons).
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes on 210°C, until both the top and underside is golden and crisp. Once out of the oven, remove from the dish onto a cooling rack.
Notes
- When mixing the dough with a wooden spoon, make sure all of the flour is well incorporated. You don't want any little pockets of dry flour. Stir until you think it’s well mixed and then stir a little more.
- Cut the bread into wedges, crossways, or strips. Whatever works for you!
- This is best served warm. Perfect with a light salad or a winter soup.
