Equipment

  • Small pan

Ingredients
  

  • 250 g bread flour See Note 1
  • 4 g instant dried yeast See Note 2
  • 3 g salt
  • 230 g warm water 170ml cold, 60ml boiling
  • 30 g extra virgin olive oil
  • 15 g extra virgin olive oil For baking
  • 15 g cold butter For greasing, See Note 3
  • 2 cloves garlic crushed
  • 1 sprig fresh rosemary leaves only

Instructions
 

Mix ingredients

  • Mix 250 g bread flour, 4 g instant dried yeast, 3 g salt with a fork.
  • Add 230 g warm water and 30 g extra virgin olive oil to the flour mixture. Mix with a wooden spoon until combined and sticky.
  • Cover with a tea towel and let rest for 30 minutes.

First fold

  • Once rested, wet your fingers and fold the dough from the outside to the inside up to a dozen times. Turn the dough slightly each time so you fold a new section.
  • Rest for a further 30-60 minutes (This depends on the humidity. It should grow in size at least 150%).

Second fold

  • Grease a small non-stick pan well with the 15 g cold butter.
  • Pour the dough into the pan. Fold the dough vertically then horizontally and gently stretch to fit the pan.
  • Cover and rest for 30-60 minutes (It should grow again). Once rested and risen, the dough should wobble inside the dish.

Prepare to bake

  • Wet your fingers and gently dimple the dough.
  • Mix 2 cloves garlic, 1 sprig fresh rosemary, 15 g extra virgin olive oil together then pour over the dimples.
  • Bake for 20min @180°C (360°F). It should rise again slightly and be golden brown on top.

Notes

Best eaten fresh, but you can store in a container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the fridge for up to 4.
