Equipment
- One large mixing bowl.
- A wooden spoon or spatula.
- One 9x13 inch baking pan.
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Plastic wrap or a clean towel.
Ingredients
- 4 cups of all-purpose flour.
- 2 teaspoons of kosher salt.
- 2 ¼ teaspoons of active dry yeast.
- 2 cups of warm water.
- 4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil.
- 2 tablespoons of fresh rosemary.
- 1 teaspoon of sea salt for topping.
Instructions
- Combine flour, yeast, and salt in a bowl. Add warm water and stir until sticky.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Let it sit for one hour. It should double in size.
- Pour olive oil into your baking pan. Spread it to cover the bottom and sides.
- Put the dough into the oiled pan. Stretch it gently to reach the corners.
- Let the dough rest again for 45 minutes. This makes the bread very light.
- Poke deep holes in the dough with fingers. Drizzle more oil and add fresh rosemary.
- Bake at 425°F for about 20 minutes. The top should be a beautiful golden brown.
Notes
- Use high-quality olive oil for better flavor.
- Make sure your water is warm, not hot.
- Do not rush the rising time.
- Add garlic or olives for extra taste.
- Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top before baking.
