Instructions
The Mix & Rise
- Add the first 5 ingredients to a bowl and beat til all the flour is incorporated. I used my hands but you can whisk or beat with a spoon
- Place in a large bowl and loosely cover with some film or even a shower cap
- Leave in a warm place for around 4-5 hours - let it grow!
The Bake
- Line a roasting tin with parchment and brush the paper liberally with olive oil
- Tip in the batter - DON’T knead or beat!
- Gently distribute it around the tin... tilting so it’s even
- Spray or splash the top lightly with a little extra oil and sprinkle on a little salt
- Leave it to prove for another hour in the tin
- Preheat your oven to 180deg C or a bit less for a fan assisted oven
- Bake on the middle shelf for around 25 mins until golden
- Take out of the oven and brush with a little extra oil
- Leave to cool for a 5 minutes then remove - still on the parchment - to a cooling rack
