I LOVE this bread! Its so fragrant and the texture is all chewy! Love love love it! Ive only made it with an instant mix before, this was my first attempt making it 'from scratch' and it was surprisingly easy.
500g white flour (I used strong white bread flour)
280ml warm water
1tsp yeast
1tsp salt
3 tbsp olive oil
a bunch of fresh rosemary (recipe said 1 tsp dried rosemary)
Mix it all into a dough and kneed for several mins until it becomes soft and pliable.
Leave to double in size in a warm place, this could take anywhere from 40 mins to 2 hours depending on how warm it is.
Tip onto a greased and floured baking tray and shape into a flatt-ish rectangle about 3/4cm thick.
Leave to double in size again.
Dimple all over using the tips of (clean!) fingers and brush with olive oil (i used a pastry brush) sprinkle over some coarse rock sea salt and some extra fresh rosemary and bake for about 20-30mins on 180.
This is a lovely 'special' side dish to go with some plain soup or a simple meal.
