Instructions

  1. Combine 80 ml Olive oil, 5 Garlic clove, and 5 g Fresh rosemary in a frying pan and heat on a low heat for 5 minutes. Set aside and allow to cool.
  2. Put 400 g Strong white bread flour, 4 g Sea salt, 0.5 teaspoon Sugar, half the infused oil, 16 g Fast action yeast and 240 ml Water in a bowl. Mix until it all comes together in a dough.
  3. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 6 minutes. Form into a ball and transfer to a lightly oiled bowl. Cover and leave somewhere warm for an hour, until it has doubled in size.
  4. Line a large baking tray and turn the dough out onto it. Press down to form a circle, 20cm/8in in diameter.
  5. Brush with a small amount of the infused oil and make indentations with your fingers. Leave for a further 30 minutes at room temperature.
  6. Preheat your oven to 230°C/210°C(fan)/450°F/Gas 8. Brush the dough with 50 ml Salt water and then the remaining infused oil. Add the leaves of 5 g Fresh rosemary and press them lightly into the dough.
  7. Put into the oven and cook for 20-25 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve warm.

Notes

  • When frying the oil and rosemary, cook on a low heat so as to not burn the garlic.
  • Make sure the oil has cooled enough (45°C/115°F max). If it is too hot, it will render the yeast unusable.
  • We used fast action yeast to keep the proofing time down. If you use normal yeast, then you will need to double the proofing times stated here.
