Cuisine: Mediterranean
Serves: 6
Ingredients
  • 250g plain white flour (tipo ‘00’ / bread flour)
  • 1.5 tsp dried yeast
  • 2 tbsps fresh rosemary, chopped, plus extra to garnish
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 125ml hand-warm water
  • sea salt
Method
  1. Sieve flour into a large bowl, add chopped rosemary, dried yeast and a little sea salt and combine. Make a well in the centre and add the olive oil and then the warm water. Stir to combine and finish into a springy dough by hand.
  2. Tip out onto a lightly-floured surface and knead the dough for 5 minutes. Use semolina to knead on as it makes the dough easy to turn.
  3. Cover with a damp T-towel or cling film and leave to rise in a warm place for an hour.
  4. Divide the dough into four equal pieces and flatten each to 4mm ovals with the palm of a hand.
  5. Use a pastry brush to coat each oval lightly with olive oil, sprinkle with sea salt and some more chopped rosemary.
  6. Griddle on a medium-high heat on a BBQ flat plate or a flat-based, heavy-based (ideally cast iron) hob pan for around 5 minutes each side, until risen slightly, hollow to tap and golden in colour.
