Ingredients

  • Dough:
  • 1/2 teaspoon dry yeast
  • 1 cup lukewarm water
  • 2 cups spelt, whole wheat or unbleached wheat flour (amount of flour may be adjusted
  • depending on type of flour used)
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 3 tablespoon olive oil
  • Topping:
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon crushed fresh rosemary leaves
  • 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt

Directions

Place yeast in a bowl with 1/2 cup of the lukewarm water
and stir until dissolved. Add remaining water, oil, salt and
flour and mix well. Cover bowl and let rise in warm place
until double in size. Knead dough on floured surface,
adding more flour if needed to make a shiny and elastic
dough. Place dough in an oiled 9 inch cake pan or spring

1/2 hr. When risen, make many deep holes in dough with
finger and brush on topping.

Bake at 425 F for 20-30 mins.
