Instructions

  1. Add the juice of one orange and the water to a small jug. Check the temperature - the goal is for this liquid mixture to be lukewarm (about 104°F/40C).
  2. Place the flour in the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with a dough hook. Add the salt to one side and the yeast to the opposite side, keeping these separate until mixing. Give the dry ingredients a stir.
  3. Pour 1 tablespoon of the olive oil into the flour, immediately followed by the zest and three quarters of the warm orange and water. Begin kneading on medium low and slowly add in more water until a sticky dough forms. You may not need all of the liquid.
  4. Continue kneading for about 10 minutes until the dough is pulling itself off the sides of the bowl.
  5. Then transfer the dough to a clean bowl and cover in cling film. Place in a warm place to proof for 1 hour until doubled in size.
  6. Meanwhile, use a small amount of oil to grease a small quarter sheet pan or other shallow lipped baking sheet.
  7. Once doubled in size, lightly knock the dough back and turn it out into the oil pan. Gently stretch the dough to the sides of the pan. Cover and allow to proof for another hour.
  8. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220C/200C Fan) and whisk together the remaining tablespoon of oil with a teaspoon of water.
  9. After the second proof, press your fingertips into the dough to form irregular dimples all over the top. Drizzle the oil and water over the top along with the chocolate chips, a sprinkle of flaked sea salt and 2 tablespoons of candied peel.
  10. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes until the top is golden. Remove and allow to cool slightly before slicing into squares or slices to serve.
