Ingredients
Scale
- 500 g Bread Flour
- 375 ml Warm Water
- 100 g Active Sourdough Starter
- 10 g Fine Sea Salt
- 60 ml Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 2 sprigs Fresh Rosemary
- 1 tbsp Flaky Sea Salt
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the bread flour and sea salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together warm water and the active sourdough starter until fully dissolved.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until a shaggy dough forms. Let it rest for 30 minutes.
- Add 30 ml of olive oil and knead the dough for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Transfer the dough to a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise in a warm place for 3-4 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Preheat the oven to 220°C (430°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and generously oil it with the remaining olive oil.
- Gently stretch and flatten the risen dough onto the baking sheet. Dimple the surface with your fingers and scatter the chopped rosemary and flaky sea salt on top.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Let it cool slightly before slicing and serving.
