Ingredients
- 400ml cold water
- 1 tsp of yeast
- 5 tsp olive oil
- 1 tsp honey
- 1 tsp salt
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- Fresh Rosemary
- Garlic
Method
- Combine the water, yeast, olive oil, honey and salt in a large mixing bowl.
- Whisk to combine, then add the flour. Mix with a wooden spoon until a sticky dough forms.
- Cover with a clean cloth and leave to rest for 10 minutes.
- Lightly oil your hands, then gently stretch and fold the dough over itself, working your way around the bowl.
- Cover and leave to rest for 15 minutes, then repeat the stretch-and-fold process.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate overnight.
- Pour some of the remaining olive oil into a large rectangular baking dish, approximately 36 cm long, and spread to coat the base and sides.
- Gently transfer the dough to the dish and ease it towards the edges. Cover and leave to prove for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the dough. Press your fingertips into the surface to create dimples.
- Lightly coat the rosemary in olive oil and scatter over the dough.
- Finely grate the garlic over the top and season with salt and pepper.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180C for 15–20 minutes, or until risen and golden brown.
- Allow to cool slightly before slicing. Enjoy as is or use it to make a sarmie!
