Kosher salt (9 gm) 1 tbsp. chopped fresh rosemary (15 ml) 2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil (25 ml) for topping Splash of water Fleur de sel or Maldon salt or garnish In a medium bowl combine the flour and yeast and stir to blend. In small bowl combine 300 ml water with honey of malt. Stir well to blend. Add liquid to dry ingredients and combine. Add extra virgin olive oil and continue to stir. Sprinkle on the salt and stir with wooden spoon until salt has all been absorbed. Mix the dough gently with your hands to feel that salt has dissolved. Dough will be sticky and look quite shaggy. Turn the dough in the four corners, by lifting the edge of dough and pulling it into the middle, as instructed in video, if desired for more structure. Place in a lightly oiled medium bowl at least twice the size of your dough and cover, well sealed with plastic wrap. Let rise in fridge overnight. (12 hours). Remove dough from fridge the next morning and do another turn, as above if desired. Cover again and bring to room temperature, until dough is light, doubled and big bubbles appear. Do not punch down! Line a baking pan (10x13“) with parchment and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and gently stretch dough with hands into the corners until it’s about 1/2 an inch thick. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and using fingers press gently all over dough to create indentations. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, sprinkle with rosemary and salt and let proof again for about an hour, until doubled in bulk. Splash with a little water on surface . Preheat oven to 470 D. Bake in a 470 degree F. oven on the lowest rack for about 10 minutes or until golden. Reduce to 425, turn pan around to colour evenly and bake another 5-10 minutes or until dark, golden brown and crisp.
