Instructions

  1. Prepare the dough according to recipe instructions. 
  2. Spray a deep baking dish with nonstick cooking spray then add 3 tbsp oil.
  3. I prefer using a deeper dish because I like a fluffier baked bread. If you want to keep it traditional, use a rimmed sheet pan.
  4. Tip the dough into the pan, trying not to disturb it too much. With oiled fingers, press into the dough, spreading it into the corners and creating a dimpled appearance.
  5. If the dough feels tight at all, leave it for 10 minutes then try again. Allow to stand for 30 minutes while you preheat the oven.
  6. Blend ½ cup basil and olive oil until smooth then pour through a sieve (optional).
  7. Add the cherry tomatoes, basil oil and fresh basil leaves then season the bread generously with flaky sea salt.
  8. Place in the oven and bake for 30-40 minute or until the bread is golden brown and crisp on the outside and sounds hollow when tapped.
  9. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for a few minutes then remove and allow to cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
