Ingredients

Servings: 1
  • 1/2 cube (approx. 21 g) fresh yeast
  • 1 kg Flour (Type 550)
  • 7-10 Tbsp Flour
  • 3 TSP Salt
  • 1 TEASPOON Sugar
  • 3-4 Branch/s Rosemary
  • 2 TEASPOONS coarse sea salt
  • 5-7 TABLESPOONS Olive oil

Directions

  1. 1

    Crumble the yeast and dissolve in 600 ml of lukewarm water. Knead in a large bowl with flour, salt and sugar with the dough hooks of the mixer to a smooth dough. Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for about 45 minutes until it has doubled in volume.

    Line a baking tray (approx. 35 x 40 cm) with baking paper. Knead the dough briefly on a little flour and roll out to the size of the baking tray. Put it on the baking tray, cover and let it rise again for about 20 minutes.

  3. 3

    Wash the rosemary, remove the needles and chop. Press hollows into the dough with your fingers close together. Sprinkle with rosemary and sea salt and sprinkle with oil. Bake in a preheated oven (electric cooker: 225 °C/circulating air: 200 °C/gas: see manufacturer) for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Leave to cool.
