Step-by-Step Instructions

  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and sea salt. Pour in the proofed yeast mixture and mix with a spatula on low speed until the dough begins to form.

  6. Drizzle the dough with olive oil, create indentations with fingers, sprinkle with sea salt and rosemary, and prepare for baking.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 30 minutes or until golden brown and crusty on the edges. Cool before slicing.
