In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar, and fine sea salt.
Pour the warm water into the dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms.
Add half of the olive oil (25 ml) to the dough, kneading it in until well incorporated.
Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and allow the dough to rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 220°C (428°F).
Once risen, transfer the dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Use your fingers to spread and shape the dough into a roughly 1 cm thick rectangle or oval.
Drizzle the remaining olive oil evenly over the top of the dough.
Scatter the fresh rosemary leaves over the dough and sprinkle the coarse sea salt on top.
Using your fingertips, lightly press into the dough to create dimples all over the surface.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp on the edges.
Allow to cool slightly on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
