What you’ll need:
300 g white flour (organic)
30g olive oil
30g sugar
1tsp active yeast
8g salt
190ml water
Take care to measure everything out, the more accurate you are the happier the dough will be.
Method:
1. Add all of the ingredients to a large mixing bowl and mix them with your hands. This part gets super sticky so prepare for 10 minutes of your very own ASMR. Kneed the mixture for 10 minutes, making sure the mixture is fully mixed.
2. After 10 minutes, the mixture should be sticky, a little wet and have a slight shine. (youre going to be tempted to add more flour - dont). Move your dough to a an airtight container which has room to grow.
3. Now comes patience. Wait approximately 4 hours. and what you’ll return to is a larger, expanded version of dough with a load of air pockets.
4. Move this airy dough to a floured surface and let it rest for a moment.
5. Gently (not disrupting the air pockets) parcel the sides from the bottom, up to the top, taking care not to get too much flour in the folds. Youre looking for 1 big folded dough ball.
6. Now gently flour your hands and turn the dough in your palms to form a sphere, and turn this upside down. You’ll have a beuatiful soft bread ball.
7. We want to make this shareable so with a sharp and slightly wet knife, cut this ball into 4.
8. Repeat Step 5 for each dough ball.
9. Now we have 4 smaller airy dough balls it’s time to let gravity help shape our breads. Pick up each one (one by one) and gently hold the eadges, letting gravity shape the dough into a round or oblong shape.
10. Once each bread has been shaped and sized (approx 8-10 inches), cover with a tea towel and let rest for 15 minutes.
11. Grab a non stick pan and place it on a high heat. Make sure its dry with nothing in it.
12. Once the pan is very hot, one at a time place each bread and let it dry pan fry for approximately 3-4 mins until toasted and slightly charred, flip it over and place on your desired board.
13. Once youve done this per bread, its time to garnish (we love rosemary and oil) and serve while still hot.
14. Tear and Dip into your favourite sauce and watch your audience gasp in flat bread heaven!
