Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 480 g (2 cups) lukewarm water
  • 6 tablespoons high-quality extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • Flaky salt, for topping
  • 1 tablespoon chopped rosemary (optional)

Instructions

  1. Mix the dough by combining flour, yeast, and salt in a large bowl. Add lukewarm water and stir until a shaggy dough forms.
  2. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the dough, coat it well, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 18 hours.
  3. Prepare a baking pan by spraying it with non-stick spray and adding 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
  4. After refrigeration, shape the dough into a ball and place it in the pan to rise for 3-4 hours until it nearly fills the pan.
  5. Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C). Create dimples in the dough, drizzle with remaining olive oil, add toppings if desired, and sprinkle flaky salt.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown. Cool briefly before slicing.
