====Schiacciata==== ==Ingredients== * 3 cups bread flour * 1/2 teaspoon salt * 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast * 1 cup lukewarm water * 1 teaspoon sugar * 4 tablespoons olive oil * 2 more tablespoons olive oil * 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary leaves * Coarse sea salt, for sprinkling ==Method== - Proof the yeast: Combine the yeast, sugar and water. Let stand 5 minutes or until frothy. Believe me, you'll know. - Put the flour in the bowl of the stand mixer. - Add the yeast mixture and oil. Mix well. - Knead 5 minutes. - Cover with plastic wrap and let rise about 1 hour in a warm place, or until doubled in bulk. - Punch down the dough, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently. - Roll out into a 12 x 8" rectangle and place onto a lightly greased baking sheet. - Brush with some of the oil and cover with more plastic wrap. - Let rise another 20 minutes or so. - Brush with the remaining oil and prick with a fork all over. - Sprinkle the rosemary and sea sal on the top. Let it rise another 15 minutes. - Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400 degrees. - Bake 30 minutes. Serve warm, although it's almost as good cold. ====Notes==== From Jessica Voloudakis' Fearless Kitchen
