Method
Preparation
- In a small bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let stand for 3-4 minutes until starting to foam.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and stir until well combined with a spatula or bread whisk to form a wet, shaggy dough.
- Shape the dough into a rough ball, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and toss until completely covered. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1.5 to 2 hours until doubled in size.
- Once risen, use a spatula to fold the risen dough into the middle of the bowl 8 times, turning the bowl a quarter turn each time.
- Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a 13x9 inch pan. Place the dough in the pan and gently push and stretch into the prepared baking dish using your knuckles and fingers.
- Cover with plastic wrap and let it rise for another 30 minutes.
Baking
- Preheat your oven to 425°F.
- Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the top. Using your fingers, poke dimples all over the surface.
- Sprinkle with the fresh rosemary and flakey sea salt.
- Bake at 425°F on the middle rack for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove from pan and let cool slightly on a cooling rack before slicing.
