  • 4 cups of all-purpose flour  (500g)
  • 350 ml lukewarm water
  • ½ tsp salt (10g)
  • 1 ½ tbsp of extra virgin olive oil
  • 1.2 tsp of dry yeast  (3.5g)
Servings 8 slices

Instructions

  • Combine the flour with the yeast and place it on the table in the shape of a volcano.
  • First mix the flour with the yeast; then add the water. When everything is well-combined, add the salt and the oil. 
  • Place the dough into the center of an oiled bowl, cover with a tea towel, and let it rise for at least 75 minutes. 
  • Flour a pastry board and knead the dough to make it stronger. It must incorporate some air, so fold it over and over again; 
  • Roll it into a ball, place it in a bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and set aside for 12-24 hours on the lower shelf of the fridge. 
  • Oil your hands and roll out the dough onto the baking sheet. 
  • Bake it at 450°F for about 20-30 minutes until puffed and golden brown; 
  • Garnish it with fresh rosemary, salt and oil
  • Enjoy it hot and share it with those you love!
