Dough

Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate the Yeast

    In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Pour in the activated yeast mixture and olive oil. Stir until a dough begins to form.

  4. 4

    Knead the Dough

    Transfer the dough onto a floured surface. Knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  5. 5

    First Rise

    Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Topping Preparation

  1. 6

    Prepare the Toppings

    In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Assemble and Bake

  1. 7

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and place a baking stone or sheet inside to heat.

  2. 8

    Shape the Dough

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into two equal parts. Roll each part out into a large circle or rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.

  3. 9

    Add Toppings

    Transfer the rolled-out flatbread onto parchment paper. Brush the prepared topping mixture generously over the surface.

  4. 10

    Bake

    Carefully transfer the flatbread (with parchment) onto the preheated baking stone or sheet. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

  5. 11

    Cool and Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm.
