Steps

1

In a large bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and honey. Stir a few times then let sit for 5 minutes.
Tip the flour and salt into a large mixing bowl. Make a well in the middle of the flour and add 2 tbsp oil and yeast mixture.
Then adding it gradually warm water until you have a slightly sticky dough.
2

Sprinkle the work surface with flour and tip the dough onto it, scraping around the sides of the bowl. Knead for 5-10 mins until your dough is soft and less sticky. Put the dough into a clean bowl, cover with a plastic wrap or tea towel and leave to prove for 1 hour until doubled in size. 
3

Oil a rectangle, shallow tin (25 x 35cm). Tip the dough onto the work surface, then stretch it to fill the tin. Cover with a plastic wrap or tea towel and leave to prove for another 35-45 mins.
4

Heat the oven to 220C/200C. Press your fingers into the dough to make dimples. Mix together 1 & 1/2 Tbsp olive oil, minced garlic and the flaky salt and drizzle over the bread. Push tomatoes into the dimples in the dough sprinkle black pepper paprika and fresh thymes.
5

Bake for 20 mins until golden. Whilst the bread is still hot, drizzle over 1-2 tbsp olive oil. Cut into squares and serve warm or cold with extra olive oil, if you like.
