Ingredients

Method

  1. Put the water, yeast, salt, sugar and 1 tablespoon of the flour into a large mixing bowl. Stir together, cover and leave for 10 minutes.
  2. Add the remaining flour and mix until smooth. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and set aside for at least 45 minutes, or up to 2½ hours to rise.
  3. Preheat the oven to 220˚C bake. Oil a large, shallow roasting dish.
  4. Scrape the risen dough into the dish and, with oiled hands, spread it out evenly. Dimple the top with your fingers and sprinkle with salt. Add small sprigs of rosemary and scatter with the garlic if you like.
  5. Bake for 15 minutes until risen and golden brown. Brush with more oil if you wish and serve warm.

This has worked perfect every time. I love adding lots of olive oil, flaky salt, garlic, rosemary, and thinly sliced tomato to the top before baking. My partner (famously picky) asks for it every time I cook.

Delicious and simple

This was so easy to make and the family loved it. Will definitely be using this recipe again

Very good, after spreading it on the tray, I left it to rise again for 30-40min before baking to get a lighter bread.

Rez

Just tried it, so easy to follow and super yummy.

Great recipe

Amazing recipe. Came out perfect. Will try brushing with olive oil on the next batch as I reckon that'll take it next level.

Love how simple this recipe is - I let the dough rise while I am at uni for the day in a warmish place and then stretch and fold it over into the dish I am going to bake it in. I then let it rise for another hour or so on top of the oven and then cook it until it is brown. It comes out perfect and airy. Best with rosemary and garlic on top :)
