Instructions

  1. 1

    Step 1

    Pour some of the flour onto the work surface and form a well in the center.

  2. 2

    Step 2

    Dissolve beer yeast in a small amount of warm water. Combine with flour and knead the dough as you would for bread. Cover with a warm cloth and leave to rise in a warm place for 2 hours.

  3. 3

    Step 3

    Add the remaining flour and olive oil. Knead until you have a soft, elastic dough. Let it rise for another 2 hours.

  4. 4

    Step 4

    Roll out the dough on a baking sheet with your hands, creating characteristic indentations from your fingers — they will collect oil during baking.

  5. 5

    Step 5

    Sprinkle with coarse salt. Let the dough rest for a bit, then bake in a preheated oven at 200–230 degrees.

  6. 6

    Step 6

    Bake for about 30 minutes until golden brown.
