In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, and salt.
Add the olive oil and warm water to the dry ingredients and mix until a sticky dough forms.
Turn out the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-10 minutes until 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 doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 220Β°C (430Β°F).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly oil it.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and place it on the prepared baking sheet. Gently stretch it out with your hands to form a rough rectangle around 1 cm (0.4 inch) thick.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and evenly distribute them across the dough, gently pressing them in.
Strip the leaves from the rosemary sprigs and scatter them over the dough.
Drizzle a little olive oil over the surface and sprinkle with coarse sea salt.
Let the dough rest for another 10-15 minutes to allow for a final rise.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and crispy on top.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly on a wire rack before cutting into squares and serving.
