From the book One Night in Italy. It can be adapted to taste - try brushing with garlic and rosemary-infused olive oil or adding cooked onions and olives before baking.

Ingredients

1 hour
1 serving
  1. 250 gramsstrong white bread flour
  2. 1 tspsalt
  3. 7 gramssachet of dried yeast
  4. 1 tbspolive oil
  5. 200 mlcold water
  6. 1olive oil and sea salt for the finishing touches

Cooking Instructions

1 hour
  1. 1

    Place the dried ingredients in a bowl, then add the olive oil and 150 ml of the water. Stir to form a dough, then knead for ten minutes while you gradually add the remaining water. You can also do this in a food mixer using a hook if you prefer.

  2. 2

    Lightly oil a work surface then tip out the dough and knead for a further five minutes. Now oil the inside of a clean (large!) bowl and put the dough inside. Cover with a tea towel and leave in a warm place until the dough has doubled in size.

  3. 3

    Once the dough has risen, you need to punch it a few times. Then tip the dough onto a large baking sheet lined with greaseproof paper, flatten it and pull it into the corners so that it's the right shape. Leave to prove for another hour.

  4. 4

    During the time, preheat the oven to 220°C. Before baking, press your fingers into the dough to make dimples, then drizzle the loaf with olive oil and sprinkle over the sea salt.

  5. 5

    If you're adding cooked red onions etc, nows the time to do that.

  6. 6

    Bake in the oven for 20 minutes.

  7. 7

    Best served hot, with an extra drizzle of olive oil.
