Method

Combine flour, yeast, salt, and 350ml lukewarm water into a soft dough.

Knead the dough for 10 to 15 minutes.

Place dough in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise for 30 minutes.

Transfer dough to a lined 37 x 27cm baking tray.

Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with rosemary, garlic, salt, and pepper.

Press fingers into the dough to create dimples and rest for 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 240°C.

Bake for 15 minutes until the bread is evenly golden-brown.

Remove from oven, drizzle immediately with more olive oil, and cool before cutting.
