In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, granulated sugar, and salt.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the warm water and 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Mix until a sticky dough forms, then transfer it to a floured surface and knead for about 8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Form the dough into a ball, place it in a lightly oiled bowl, and cover with a damp kitchen towel. Allow it to rise for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 220Β°C (430Β°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Punch down the risen dough and transfer it to the baking sheet. Stretch and press it out into a rough oval or rectangle about 1 cm thick.
Finely chop the rosemary leaves and mince the garlic cloves.
Brush the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the top of the dough. Sprinkle the chopped rosemary, minced garlic, and flaky sea salt evenly across the surface.
Bake the flatbread in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden and slightly crisp around the edges.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before slicing and serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
