Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g All-purpose flour
- 7 g Active dry yeast
- 300 ml Warm water
- 30 ml Extra virgin olive oil
- 10 g Salt
- 10 g Fresh rosemary
- 5 g Coarse sea salt
- 5 g Optional: Garlic powder
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water and active dry yeast, letting it sit for 5 minutes until the yeast is dissolved and foamy.
Add the all-purpose flour and 10g of salt to the yeast mixture. Stir until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F).
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air and roll it out onto a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Drizzle 20ml of extra virgin olive oil over the surface of the dough, spreading it evenly with your fingers. Press several dimples into the dough with your fingertips.
Sprinkle the fresh rosemary, coarse sea salt, and optional garlic powder evenly over the top of the dough.
Bake for 20-25 minutes in the preheated oven, until the Schiacciata is golden brown and crisp on the edges.
Remove from the oven and brush with the remaining 10ml of olive oil. Allow it to cool slightly before slicing into pieces.
Enjoy your low-fat schiacciata warm or at room temperature as a healthy, airy snack!
