Ingredients
- 250g strong plain white flour, plus extra for dusting
- 1 tsp salt
- 7g sachet fast-action dried yeast
- olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 2 tsp Maldon sea salt
Directions
-
Put the flour into a bowl with the salt, yeast and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add 150ml warm water, stir with a wooden spoon, then use your hands to mix it all into a ball.
-
Sprinkle flour over a clean work surface and tip out the dough. Work out the dough for 10 minutes to stretch and make smooth.
-
Pour 1 tablespoon olive oil onto the work surface. Sit the dough on top and roll out to a round about 30cm across with a rolling pin. Grease a pizza tray or large baking tray and line with baking paper and put the dough on it.
-
Scatter the garlic over the dough, then sprinkle with salt. Cover with greased cling film and leave to rise in a warm place for 30 minutes to 1 hour. It will become puffy.
-
Preheat the oven to 220˚C/fan 200˚C/gas 7. Discard the cling film and press your finger into the dough about 16 times and pour over a little more olive oil. Bake for 15 minutes until golden brown. Cool for 5 minutes, then tear into pieces to serve.
