Ingredients:
350 g plain flour
1 tsp granulated sugar
4 g dry yeast
220 ml lukewarm water
1 tsp salt + a little extra for sprinkling
2 + 3 tbsp olive oil
For decoration:
fresh rosemary
carrot greens
cherry tomatoes
capers
carrot
black sesame seeds
spring onion
salt and other toppings to taste
1. In a bowl, mix the flour, sugar, salt, and dry yeast. Add the lukewarm water and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Knead into a smooth dough (about 5 minutes – by hand or using a mixer). Place the dough into a baking tray brushed with olive oil (approx. 40 × 28 × 5.5 cm).
2. Sprinkle lightly with flour, cover with a tea towel, and let rise in a warm place for 90 minutes. Preheat the oven to 190 °C. Once risen, gently stretch the dough with your fingers to cover the entire tray.
3. Decorate as you like – for example, with carrot slices, cherry tomatoes, herbs, carrot greens, spring onions, and sesame seeds.
4. Drizzle with olive oil and lightly sprinkle with salt. Bake for about 25 minutes, until the surface is golden brown.
5. Let it cool slightly, then slice and serve.
