Instructions
1οΈβ£ Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the bread flour, all-purpose flour, salt, yeast, and sugar. Add the olive oil and water, stirring with a spatula until a shaggy, wet dough forms. This is normal. The water quantity is correct, and the dough will be sticky. π₯£
2οΈβ£ Rest: Cover the bowl with a tea towel and let it stand for 5 minutes. π
3οΈβ£ Stretch and Fold: Wet your hands, then stretch and fold the dough. Rotate the bowl 90Β° and repeat until you have done four stretch and folds around the bowl. Let it rest for 2 minutes. Repeat this process two more times for a total of three rounds of stretch and folds. π
4οΈβ£ Oil and Refrigerate: Drizzle a bit of olive oil on the dough, turn it over to coat, cover with plastic wrap or a lid, and refrigerate overnight (minimum 12 hours, up to 2 days). π₯βοΈ
5οΈβ£ Prepare Pan: Generously drizzle a 9″x13″ (23cmx33cm) non-stick baking pan with olive oil. Turn the risen dough into the pan and coat it in oil. Shape it into a rough rectangle with your oiled fingers. Let it rest for 5 minutes. π₯
6οΈβ£ Spread Dough: Gently spread the dough towards the edges of the pan with your oiled fingers. Drizzle a bit more olive oil on the surface to prevent drying. π«
7οΈβ£ Rise: Leave the pan in a warm spot, uncovered, to rise until doubled in size, puffy, and jiggly (2 to 4 hours). It should leave a small indentation that slowly springs back when gently pressed. π
8οΈβ£ Preheat Oven: Toward the end of the rising process, preheat the oven to 450Β°F (230Β°C). π₯
9οΈβ£ Prepare Topping: Mix 50g olive oil and minced garlic in a small bowl. Spoon over the surface of the dough. π§π«
π Dimple Dough: Oil your fingers and dimple the dough all over, pressing almost to the bottom of the pan. Do not pop any bubbles. Sprinkle with rosemary, flaky sea salt, and pepper. πΏπ§πΆοΈ
1οΈβ£1οΈβ£ Bake: Immediately transfer to the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until golden brown and pulling away from the sides of the pan. πβ³
1οΈβ£2οΈβ£ Cool: Remove from the oven, let stand for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. π
1οΈβ£3οΈβ£ Store: Store leftovers lightly wrapped at room temperature. π½οΈ
